We left home at 9:30 this AM and arrived at Pelican Bay 4 hours later. It's normally a 2 hour trip but the wind was up a bit and Chatlotte Harbor was lumpy. We elected to do a 6 knot cruise which was much friendlier than crashing through on plane.
It's been a high overcast most of the day which has held the heat down. Only 85 in the boat but we have a nice breeze at anchor.
We met Randy and Cindi Pickelman on Morning Star, a nice Krogen 36. They are also at anchor here. Randy is a frequent contributor to the trawler list and I have kept up with Morning Star and her travels for some time. Very nice folks and it was fun to trade stories for a while.
We may stay here for the weekend or may travel to a marina for Sat night. We have bar-b-q chicken and corn on the cob for tonight. Pretty fun.
Stay tuned, more later. Pictures are now added. Pretty Girl in the dinghy (truck). Believe it or not, it actually folds and fits in the cockpit. A newly discovered feature, we can put it in intact on its side and tie it in place. She came home that way and rode fine. This will simplify our lives tremendously!
