Well, seriously, I never drink and drive at the same time.

I didn't make it through the Boca Grande Cut the time I tried.  The water
was quite choppy and I was in a 12 foot sit-on-top.
Under some conditions, when the wind and waves oppose each other, the waves
stand up as straight as soldiers.  (Someone correct me, if I have this story
wrong.)

One of the purposes of buying a touring kayak is so I can make it from Pine
Island (connected to the mainland) to Cayo Costa.  It's a lovely island.  I
hope some of my friends have enough vacation time saved to paddle over with
me soon.

P.S.  Boca Grande is where the Bushes vacation.
