We were away from the dock at 9:40 AM with the wind and current straight up our ass, uh I mean stern. Jim, an off duty marina hand offered assistance and we said,
“yes, thank you!” and Captain Bruce did a great job!
Off we go, crossing St Andrews Sound which can be a true bucking bronco, which we have experienced as well as a calm lake. Today it was 1-2' waves and slightly choppy so a great crossing! Ok for me with a short distance and Bella did fine though she was giving us the "look" and started the panting thing, just before she gets sick. I don't think she could've made it for much longer.
We were anchored by 1:30 and traveled 4 1/2 hours today so we could spend some time on the island. We went for a walk to the beach across the island but we didn't go through the fields where the horses generally graze. We didn't see any horses today but we did see tons of evidence on the ground of them being around earlier today.
A beautiful evening and we hope to head out for a long trip tomorrow to St Augustine but we just saw on the news that we are expecting heavy FOG in the AM. We are not traveling through that!
The sunset scenes just get better and better!
Watching the evening news and Bella with all her toys everywhere!
28 miles today
