Across Tampa Bay

---

We left the dock around 0600, up the ICW. Came into Tampa Bay, and it was so cold, we took turns helming for 30 min shifts. Al bundled, looked like we were in Alaska, but darn wind was blowing at 30 knots steady, 6 foot seas, what an experience. We crossed to the Skyway channel by Maximo Point.
Kept heading North on the ICW until Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina. We bunked in here, no heater, we did have sleeping bags. We shook from the cold all night.
