Day #1: At 0815 EDT we depart Naples under blue skies and calm winds. The crew, John, Bicki, and Dave, are more than happy to be underway after a week long weather delay. Nellie is being run at higher than normal RPMs (2000 vs. 1800) to make sure all is well. Little Shark River, some 60nm distant is our destination, although we may continue through the night so as to reach the Keys by tomorrow morning. We're being driven by a closing weather window as gale force winds are expected between Miami and Bimini on Saturday. DBH
