May 9th travel from CLearwater to Panama City

We traveled from Clearwater to Panama City today a total of 242 miles. We cleared the outer marker and set a way point for San Blas Shoal it was a perfect crossing just over 10 hours. The seas were smooth almost flat. We did run through a couple of brief shower but nothing major. The boat performed as it had all trip flawlessly; the biggest challenge of the day was dodging crab pots off the Florida coast until we got into deeper water. Allow me to share an observation with you all; you realize how small you are relative to the earth when you travel for 8 plus hours and never see land. In addition you develop an appreciation for the reliability of the boat/mechanical systems. We st
stayed at the Bay Point Marina and ate at the onsite restaurant “30 degrees north”.
