EC navigation question out from Haze Marina

When leaving CP#1 last year, I went back out Stump Pass. This year I plan on heading south in the intercoastal, going west of Bird Key and exiting out Gasparilla Pass. Any class 4 folks want to chime in on the suitability of this plan? I assume the wind would NOT be out of the south (otherwise it would again be going back out Stump to the Gulf.) I am sailing a 49er with a 22 foot mast height (and centerboard and kick up rudder, vs the stock daggerboard and dagger rudder.)
Thanks in advance,
Joe Bousquet "Madmothist"

Do it if wind and tide are favorable.. It can be a mess if they are against you and you have Saturday boat traffic.
