We did move the boat yesterday afternoon to a much more secure setting – a smallish cove, surrounded by modest homes. There was one other boat anchored there, S/V Diana. We made friends with her owners, a young couple from Ottawa, and had sundowners with them. We left somewhat regrettably this morning to head on down the line. They had been there several days but were staying one more because they liked it so much. It really was a pretty little anchorage.
Today we had a beautiful beam reach sail down the waterway making good time with the 12-18 knot wind and favorable current. Tom was happy. Well, so was I but he gets upset if we can't at least pull out the jib. We didn't have far to go (about 4 hours) and soon pulled into Peck Lake just off the ICW. There were several boats here ahead of us, many of which were locals who had come to enjoy the beach just a short walk through the mangroves. After setting the hook securely, we too strolled over to the beach and walked in the surf for a while, then sat drowsily in the sun after that. We came back and took showers on the boat and now we're thinking about what to have for our Thanksgiving dinner. Pretty sure it won't be turkey, but we do have stuffing and cranberries

Happy Black Friday- (glad I'm not shopping)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're having fun. Thanks for sharing your experiences & great photos (I especially like the one of Savannah in the fog).
We are having fun, Dave. Glad you posted a comment. We thought maybe that part of the blog wasn't working correctly.
