[Paddlewise] winter trip

We are thinking of taking a 5-day paddle trip during the winter. The 
idea is to give ourselves a respite from the Michigan winter and enjoy 
paddling the warmer water of the Gulf.
My buddy and I paddled in the Everglades in late January this year and 
took a circle route from Flamingo to the Shark River via Florida Bay and 
back to Flamingo through Whitewater Bay and Coot Bay. It was a wonderful 
and successful trip. We liked the open water paddling, but we don't 
consider ourselves particularly accomplished. [We've practiced rolling a 
number of times and occasionally we've been successful more times than not.]
This winter we'd like to try some other open water on the Florida 
coast.  We enjoyed setting up our overnight stops in fairly remote 
locations and didn't mind hauling our water along. Can someone suggest 
routes or areas to putting along that coast?
I think our timing for this trip is likely to be the last week in 
January or the early to middle part of March. It seems like the weather 
might be fairly mild and the winds light enough to allow a couple of 
guys to gain some further experience.
