[Robalo]

SLP-Yeppir, let's go soon.

Well, my 23 Robalo is at red wing now- gas tank; then at Mike and Susan Gilley's for a new transom (I guess when I added the twins, Capt Kirk marine didn't beef it enuf 4 years ago). But when I get it back in about a month and after about $6k, anyone is welcome to follow me out-been running the pass for many years from Jam Beach and glad to help others out when I can and will let you all know when my "virgin" run will be. I like doing dual boat runs on the big water-nothing like being safe and having 2 boats near each other out there.

You all have a great weekend-I was lucky-had the flu last week and now got it in the chest and sinuses-gotta love winter
Can't wait until it's 90 and dead calm-that's what I call good weather!!

Out of Jamaica (I'm assuming you know where Carranchua Reef is) avoid Carranchua make your way out to the middle of the bay and hit the Old ICW pilings that run all the way to the causeway.

Follow the pilings all the way you'll run through Confederate Reef (marked by PVC poles) just stay on the same heading and line yourself up. If your not comfortable doing that you can always run straight across the Bay thru greens cut (marked also by PVC) stay in the middle! Either side of PVC stakes. Then head towards Jetties...

I avoid SLP all the time I hate running the Robalo thru there. To go off shore from Pirates I always run by the Yacht Basin, top off and leave off the South Jetty.

thanks again fellas. i was actually considering carancahua reef (east & west of it) considering the S-SE winds & iminent front mid-day. maybe hug the south shore (managable depth) of west bay. so you advise NO to carancahua??
