Okay, technically we’re on the water again. Our throttle arrived yesterday and Dave immediately installed it. All the boat projects that make the boat go had been completed. So around 9:00am this morning we left the slip, topped off our fuel and were back on the ICW by 9:30am.
It felt so good to be underway again! We didn’t plan the day so well and had the current against us the entire way. In addition to our furry hulls, we averaged about 3 kts, and that was with our motors set for what would otherwise have been about 5.5 kts. Dave will be cleaning the hulls in the morning before we take off.
We are now anchored in Peck Lake, which is really an expanded portion of the Indian River, enjoying a shot of rum before dinner. We anchored as the skies were becoming ominous in the west. The winds kicked up to 20-3ph gusting to 38, but it seems we got a pass on the squall in general. We may yet get some showers; we’ll see.
Stay healthy and take care of each other!
(PS- those showers never materialized.)
Love hearing your daily briefings. Safe travels and enjoy! 💕
