Back to the Gulf of Mexico Sequel to: Alone in the Gulf of Mexico
This story is a continuation of the story from Alone in the Gulf of Mexico. It begins in Illinois but rapidly moves to Florida and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico and Cozumel. The story follows the sometimes-hectic legal battle with individuals from Homeland Security including an unplanned long-distance sail. Along the way there is sailing through storms, waves, and wind with an occasional twist. The continuing interaction between Captain Pete and the Federal Government makes this an enjoyable, yet totally believable read.
