I've never seen this much of the sandbar leaving Alligator Creek
I actually caught up to a 34' Beneteau and passed it. Not bad for a 23 foot boat.
Back at the dock at sunset
Just returned to Punta Gorda, FL for the winter and went on my first sail of 2025. Tide was the lowest I had ever seen leaving Alligator Creek. Sailed south on Charlotte Harbor toward Burnt Store Marina in beautiful weather. On the sail back I was sailing a beam reach on the same course as several boats that were 10 to 15 feet longer than me and I pulled ahead of them. Not bad for a 23 foot sailboat.
