We are in Clear Lake for the winter and will be leaving in Late February or early March to return to Florida. We came the GICW but would rather make day hops on the outside if it is possible. 50 to 70 mile days. Has anyone here actually done this? I know there are oil rigs and barges and ships.
Let me be a little more specific about what I mean as day hops. I am not looking for a marina or other facilities at the end of the day. We are totally self sufficient in that we have a watermaker, solar, wind generator, ability to pump over board, and carry more than enough fuel and food for the trip. All we require is a safe place to anchor when it gets dark. I don't want to run at night in this area.
If you have done this or even part of it offshore please tell me your experience.
Thanks
