We made it to Palmetto, FL. The winds were still blowing too much, the water was still Coast Guard departure Jake and Harrison playing on the Ipad We had a stowaway, we turned him loose when we got close to shore, I didn't know how far they can fly so better safe than sorry Our soldiers at work!! Jake will be 14 in a few months Harrison is 11 months rough but what a gorgeous shade of teal blue! We only saw a few dolphin but none came to play along side of the boat. I used the patch again and Ellie had her L-Theanine so we both tolerated the rocking' and rollin' better. When we only had 3 hours left to go to reach the marina, we were hailed by the Coast Guard. Oh, crimany, what did we do or not do??? We were asked to put the boat in neutral, did we have any weapons on board and may they come aboard for a safety check? We did as asked, they pulled up beside us and came aboard. ...

The ICW was so exciting today. The tides were with us today, we ran at an average of 8.2knots/1690 rpm’s and our top speed at full throttle is only 7.9 knots, we got a free ride. There was a lot of interesting things to see, the houses along the way were gorgeous, we got to watch a guy catching shrimp, several bridges which one of them was a swing bridge. I find those fascinating! I started the day by making a loaf of bread for dinner, then 3 loads of laundry, then 3 hours to give Ellie a haircut, then vacuumed everything (10 minute job) to get all the dog hair off the floors and took a bunch of pics in between chores. Then the excitement.....we came around a bend and saw the marina we are staying in for the night. It was not only low tide, but a King Tide. When the moon is full, the high tides are higher and the low tides are lower. Normally we fit just fine in the marinas but oh no, not when there’s a King Tide. We were...
