Day 18 Goodbye Suwannee River, Hello Gulf of Mexico

Tuesday morning March 22,  SOS is 19 miles  --roughly 5 hours--  from the Gulf.   SailFlow says early morning winds on the river will be light.   And then there are the 3-foot tides to think about ...

SOS started the day and was moving downriver by 5:00am Tuesday. By 8:30 am he was out in the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

SOS at mile 19


Favorable tides for exiting the river are from about  2:03am to 8:42am
