Trailered from Orlando to the coast and launched in Malabar. Made the just over 100 mile round trip with four Yamaha's. Great day on the water for sure.

We prob will. It was a great run. I just follow @BigJay17 cause he knows Florida waters like a tour guide. Never takes us to a bad place.

How is this section is there a ton of no wake zones? Planning to run most of the East Coast of Florida next year Jacksonville to Stuart FL trying to see how bad the no wake zones are going to be to try and estimate how many days it will take.

Not to many all the way down to Stuart. I have only done it from Melbourne to Stuart.

@robert843 going south from St Lucie inlet to Jupiter it’s about 2 hours. There are quite a few long no wake zones. If you can run the ocean that’s what I usually do it’s only about 30 minutes that way give or take

I won't be going much further south then St Lucie as I will take the St Lucie Canal just south of there across.

I though about buying another ski or two to use for my plans over the next few years as they would be more efficient and I could cover a lot more ground faster as my wife really has little desire to participate in this plan of trying to do the great loop over the next several years but I'm sure @Andy S wife does have interest so that means I would have to buy 3 skis and talk him and his wife into joining me on those on the parts that were acceptable for it.

Cindy is very interested in doing the great loop but she is a little cool tip the idea of making parts of the trip on a ski, however I'm good. Maybe Cindy can drive our boat and haul extra fuel so we can ride the longer runs.

@robert843 Cindy said since we currently own two boats she doesn't think riding a ski is a good idea.
