We were up before sunrise to get ready to lift the anchor. We had a crab crawl up our anchor line the night before but he left us before we could figure out a way to catch him and eat him for dinner, his lucky day. It's a beautiful day, 80-ish degrees, 9.1 knots of wind, high wispy clouds. We made it through some pretty shallow places today. We team navigate through those, one of us drives, the other watches the waypoints and calls out course corrections. It's a good system for us. We went through a bridge, the Krogen 52 we were following had to call the bridge operator to request an opening. His snarky response was, "I'll open it when you get close enough". He did open it but he got no polite thank you from either of us that had just passed through, as is customary. If that is the most exciting thing that happens today, that's ok. We have about 90 minutes of cruising before we get to New Smyrna. We hope there is a place to anchor or pick up a mooring ball. 7:45 pm We “drove around” to try to find a place to anchor, to get a slip, to find an empty mooring ball or anyplace to call it a day. FINALLY, after 2 1/2 hours, we found a spot to anchor. The sun set with not much time to spare to end our 12 hour day.
Yes, Sir
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. ...
