Our first sailing cruise from Florida, to the coast of Maine, and all that happens on the way.
Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Up and moving this morning we pulled anchor and headed south. We had to wait for the bridge of Lions to open while we were just off the fort. It's a lovely view from the water, plus there are lots of boats anchored off there and we love to look at them and dream. We did pass a sailboat about 40 ft that was abandoned and I said to Carl hey there's one we could afford, we laughed and he keep on going.. No really we can tow it home with us... Rats there goes that idea... It was a pretty nice day on the ICW, only thing was the people from Canada that don't fly the required American Flag. Boy does Carl get upset. It seems most of them are from Quebec and lots don't speak English. Today at a bridge Carl called the bridge tender and heard that the other boats were not responding so Carl says " God Bless America" and the bridge tender say I agree with that.. Lots of times Carl will call their boats and ask why they don't have their courtesy flag, some respond, some don't...Big adventure on the high sea's.. The rest of the day was not much to talk about, we only made 35 miles because we got a late start and we wouldn't have found an anchorage before dark, so we anchored early..It was a nice little hole with Manatee's in it.. pretty cool.. Love that kind of stuff but it is hard to take a picture of. Today's pictures are of forts, first is the one in St. Augustine and the other is Ft.Matanzas which is one we passed on the ICW. Today we continue south with the sun out, what a special day we haven't seen that in a while.. Sorry the blog will not let me post anymore pictures it says my quota is full.. Who knew I had a quota...
