Sunday - Checked the weather and the storm will hold off until 1 or 2 pm. We left with two anchorages in mind. One in Russel Pass which is about 12 miles before Coon Key. If we could get to Coon Key we can go inland around Marco Island the next day with good protection from the storm/wind.
We passed the first anchorage and headed for Coon Key about 8 miles before Coon Key some very heavy clouds passed overhead. No wind or rain. We were about 4 miles from the Key and the wind started. It reached a little over 30knots quickly. But we were inside a bay area and shortly inside more protection. Luckly the wind was directly on our noise. Barbara's Joy handles it well. We had decided to go to a marina to wait out the storm. It will take a few days.
