A side note to the greatest journey. Matt Layden - a confirmed minimalist - told his lovely wife Karen that she need not burn the few gallons of fuel needed to go to St. Pete and pick him up.
He is sailing through the Cross Florida waterway across the state. He'll sail to Fort Myers, and start his way up the Caloosahatchee River, cross Lake Okeechobee, and then sail on down the C-44 into the St. Lucie River.
Wow. Give us a water quality and fishing report on the way, Matt.
