GL: Man lost in the Gulf - some lessons

[Seasalt007 at aol.com]

I'll bet that there are more two person crews, especially loopers, who  cross 
the gulf at night going from the Florida Panhandle to Tarpon Springs  or 
Clearwater than there are larger crews. That said, I'll also bet that both  will 
stay awake all night (my wife sat right there beside me all night) and know  
where the other is.
 
Lack of daylight makes it hard for a trawler to do it in the daytime. "Go  
the rim route", one might say, and I'll say never again will I go into the  
winding shallow waters around Steinhatchee, etc.
