This run is 12 NM, Best on a sw wind. By far the best area to ride on the wc of Fl. 9-10 NM is super flat 6 inches to 4 ft. deep water, depending on how far you get out into the bay. Some spots in the run cross shipping channels, and open bay 20-50 ft. deep. Empty mangrove shoreline for miles. Now the secrets out. Only problem is that it is pretty secluded, only 2 or 3 spots to exit without a hike through the bushes. Reminds me of the planet of the aps run in hatteras but 150 times better. If you had a boat you could stretch the run out for another 3-6 NM. [/img]

I haven't heard from Travis in quite a long time , but , we've done this run before on a SW wind turning to WSW.

Lori and I have also done the reverse course on a NNW.

Just like Travis said, the most fun downwinder on the planet and any breakdowns we can just put our boat in off our house right along the course!

I would be amped for any downwinder Kent can come up with in the Keys.
He was talking about doing one a fews weeks back, but no wind.
We would need a good east blow. Kent, have you come up with a good course yet? Maybe islamorada to bahia honda or key west?
