As we get ready to enter the Key West channel I snapped a picture of our Furuno Chart Plotter…we have traveled for 937 miles in 6 days.
As one of our crew said earlier in the trip…the fastest way to Key West is to turn toward Houston and take a plane.
We found that the radar and chart plotter were instrumental in taking the worry out of overnight sailing. We could even track rain storms by watching which direction they traveled and sail around them. The last time we sailed this course with our friend John Hromadka we had neither and it made that trip a lot more adrenaline intensive.
