Is this a really bad idea?
Reason I ask is due to some weather suggestions I just received from Chris Parker. He recommends leaving Clearwater at 8am for the best ride and to miss some thunderstorms possibly, but that puts me at the inlet at around 5am.
Here is his recommendation:
Let's say you depart Clearwater at 8am. You would steam WNW, toward 28-30N/84W for about 7 hours...then, about 2pm, turn NNW for Carabelle. In this 6 hours you could get 40mi from the Coast, and at that distance from the Coast the seabreeze will have less effect.
