Received some phone messages from Nathan yesterday indicating he had successfully made his first open water trip in the Gulf of Mexico and was anchored near Tarpon Springs, Florida. During his 70-hour crossing he was at the helm for about 65 hours. After making the trip he got some sleep and he and Mattie the Dog took a swim: 80-degree air temperature; 67-degree water. He wasn’t sure of the exact name of where he was at, but based on what he told me and by consulting Google maps, I believe he’s at Anciote Key a couple of miles offshore.

Nathan is doing great! My wife and I were out in our houseboat for a couple days at Three Rooker Key, an island just South of Anclote key, and North of Honeymoon Island. We met Nathan yesterday as he was moored close to us. They both came aboard this morning for some breakfast sausage and coffee. A great guy with some fantstic stories! What a pleasure to meet him and Matty. As of around 9:00 I could see Nathan heading south. We will be following the adventure!
