Had a nice sail to Burnt Store Marina south of Punta Gorda, FL in perfect weather conditions. My GPS said I hit 8.2 knots speed over ground at one point, which is my highest speed on Fahrfrumwurken to date. Saw some damage from recent hurricanes to several navigational markers but the water appears clear of floating debris.
