Don't know about the Cedar Key and Panhandle portion, but Venice to Ft. Myers, to Marco Island, to Cape Sable or Flamingo, and then to Key Largo isn't too bad.

Now that you mention it, I think I do remember something about a squall; up near Venice maybe. At any rate, sounds like a good reason not to race at night.

Anybody out there that participated?
