Bringing boat to Fl by water. Not jet boat.

This trip looks amazing! I've got hopes of doing the great loop someday and this is certainly part of the loop. Y'all look to be having some amazing weather. I know the boat you're on has a pair of big Cats, but what is your mileage looking like so far?
 
Bob still docks his boat just handing it off there. Mine are good though.
1/2 mile per gallon. It does not change much between 1,600 and 1,800 except Inside that is where we run it. Top end is 2,300 and almost 40 Mph.
 
That ICW route looks amazing! How much of it is no wake, I'm curious. Some of it looks similar to salt marches of the NE, wild and beautiful, but I guess it must be well dredged.

Thanks so much for this play by play. It’s great following your adventure. We have spring-like (record braking) temperatures here in southern Ontario... but there is a winter ahead of us... and you have been keeping hope alive! ? And thanks for getting me on to Navionics! LOVE it!
