Long story short, my wife and I took sailing lessons in October of 2015, bought a Catalina 30 a month later in November and found out we were going to be parents in December. Needless to say we didn't get to take full advantage of the boat over the last year with the new addition so we didn't get to hone our sailing skills after the ASA certifications.
On top of all the above I just changed jobs and they moved us to Clearwater from Nashville Tn along with our boat. As of now, I have the boat at Apollo Beach Marina on the hard prepping to launch. Where I need help is getting from Apollo Beach marina to Clearwater Beach marina. From my novice eyes it appears to be an 8-10 hour journey but I could be way off. I need someone that has experience with the bay and the coast to help my wife and I make the journey. We can motor, motor/sail or sail. I prefer to sail just to get the experience but understand that may not be completely possible.
I have a very flexible job so I can make it on a weekend or weekday. At this point I am hoping for a transit date of April 16th weather permitting. I am looking for someone that can help us get there but also help us refine our sailing skills while making the journey and teach us about the local waters. I don't expect anyone to do this free of charge. If anyone is interested or knows anyone that would be, please shoot me a PM.
Thanks
Brad.
