Anchored off Tavenier Key
FL
Today we bid good bye to the marina. We hung around until 2:30 before we left. We cleaned the boat inside and out while we still had water from the dock. Filled up our water tank. Returned some books to the book exchange. Got a pump out. Our vent stopped up as usual so we only got half emptied. This has been a long standing problem. Lee hunted the entry documents on line we need to have for Bahamas entry. Apparently the hard copy Judy gave him he left at the condo. We got our 3 Bahamas guide books out and will delve into them this week. We certainly will miss the wifi and abundant water while at anchor.
We motored a short distance and dropped anchor near a channel that leads to our friend Bill Sears house. We will go there for water refills and to borrow his truck when we need transportation. I will have to make one more trip to the grocery store. I realized the other day I left my new full laundry detergent bottle where we did laundry last and the one I have was almost empty when I finished laundry yesterday.
We went from cold to hot. Today was at least 80. We won't need the heat or extra blankets this week.
If it still looks good to go across the Gulf Stream next weekend we will head north on Thurs with the intention to meet Handleys on Fri evening for the crossing. We will watch that situation closely.Almost bedtime and the temp has cooled to comfortable and the wind has quit and the water is calm as a pond. Look forward to a nice night.
