Dec 11, 2014. At Sea

Left at o'dark thirty.  Not the best day for sailing as we have following seas, and quite frankly it feels like  we are in a washtub, not that I have ever been in one.  Very rolie police.  There has only been one other sailboat on radar.  We put up the forsail, so that made it better, but it was a rough nite.  Kathy thought she would be able to read her iBook, but with the wave action, it kept flipping directions, so proved to be challenging.  Arrived St Pete area exhausted and anchored in the Boca Ciega Bay at Gulfort.  Our friends Pat and David Tye were anchored there and were kind enough to invite us for dinner.  We liked it so much we ended staying there for 5 days.
