I wish I lived closer to the tip of Florida, I would go island hopping in the Florida keys. Instead I am going to cruise the gulf coast.

I planned on camping on the islands along the coast. Will that be a problem? They look uninhabited so I don't see it being to much of a problem as long as I leave it how I found it.

Also, I have some experience in the ocean but most of it is fishing experience. I want to know what I need to worry about. I know that the chance of shark attack is pretty small so that isn't what I am worried about, but are jellyfish a threat? What would I do if I got stung by one. Is there anything I need to worry about?

I have talked to a few people from corpus and they have all said that the water temp should be around 70 in mid march. I know that the prevailing wind is out of the southeast, and it is pretty reliable during the entire month of march. Is there anything I am missing here, from the way the wind sounds I will be able to reach along the barrier islands alot which should block most of the waves, it should be a fast way to sail.

Sorry this was so long, I just want to make sure I am thinking of everything!
