Is there a website that shows when everything starts and what routes you can take. I'm in no means ready for a run like that but wouldn't mind knowing what would be needed for future reference.

Worst part is leaving KW harbor with a hangover on Sunday morning at 7 am, winds kicking up 3-5's outside the harbor and knowing you are 150+ miles from the trailer at Haulover!


For others they have a longer road from the top of the keys to home:

This was easily one of the best KWPR shots:

Shot was taken on the outside from Sunshine Key heading to KW. This is early afternoon, 2-3 pm and being winter the seas can get rough. Lots of air shots from that gallery.

That's what transporters are for. There's no way I could run a boat back after five days of KW.
