Should you eat turkey? (SHOULD YOU GO OR NOT?)

Moorings Marina in Carrabell where many "Great Looper" boats are waiting to make the cross to Tarpon Springs or Tampa Bay.

BUT,,,,Thanks to Tom Conrad's "Weather Musings" (on the American Great Loop Cruisers Assoc. site)  they will shut down their engines and stay put til the weekend and enjoy a nice "Thanks Giving dinner at the dock with other boater friends. 

View of passage way to the Gulf on a calm day . According to our weather wizard Tom,  the Gulf is kicking up today with 30 mph winds and eight foot seas. Tom's advice on when to cross and when not to are very valuable to those of  us who make the crossing.  The next weather window will not be until after Thanksgiving and since Several marinas like "Dog River" in Mobile and "C-Quarters in Carabelle  will have complimentary turkey dinners ENJOY!
