All the other boats in the anchorage are gone. Beautiful, sunny day and two well rested sailors. Not much wind early on we are motor sailing with just the jib out and the wind on our stern. We are quickly on the wide Neuse River under rather calm conditions.</p><p>In the afternoon the wind picks up out of the northwest, on the nose on some points of sail as we cross the Pamlico River and then head north up the Pungo River. By the time we get to Behaven it is getting rather windy. We anchor close the the west shore to lessen the fetch and a rather calm evening even with all the wind.</p><p>We get a text from our son Dana that his wife Lori has had a seizure and was in the emergency room. We call back later, but no test results, yet. Lori seems fine now, but has no history of seizures.<br /></p>Vermontsailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05346742611147254932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1546753919178936365.post-64260601357721401972023-05-06T17:19:00.060-07:002023-06-24T17:53:25.818-07:00Adams Creek<p><br /></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">

I don’t bother them since I assume they are sleeping. I put the

Belladventure and another boat they traveled with for a couples days
will be making the same run.</p><p>

install Aquamaps. Both are working much better in the following
days.</p>

We met Charla at
Texas Road House. Since her son and girl friend who both live with
her are Vegans, she has a craving for a steak. We tell her to get a
big one since we are buying dinner and she has lots of left overs. We
have a good visit. </p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mK0H9vzJ5XCZo47eCMLJLdG1blIgYAjZFhbvDnoqh5QGaIE7r7oauYN2-z7jxq2CQi6EOC4LbwqANuXf1-FaHM4uw1m-SthvmYwTl_qtZ8FpTv0llLwnc-ZJNXQPX6LeM3I8vIrzfLMm8rIipVXVl3WvHXBiJTgYXBXWuay3liXu-wUni50HGjfo5g/s4032/IMG_6836.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mK0H9vzJ5XCZo47eCMLJLdG1blIgYAjZFhbvDnoqh5QGaIE7r7oauYN2-z7jxq2CQi6EOC4LbwqANuXf1-FaHM4uw1m-SthvmYwTl_qtZ8FpTv0llLwnc-ZJNXQPX6LeM3I8vIrzfLMm8rIipVXVl3WvHXBiJTgYXBXWuay3liXu-wUni50HGjfo5g/w640-h480/IMG_6836.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nile, Charla & Linda<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> After we return the car to Enterprise and Uber

<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Osprey always gives
a guest goodie bag, which I am amazed they still do since they are
the least expensive marina on the ICW. They goodie bag has less in it
each time we stop, but we still get a jar of Pepper Jam, which we
always rave about. I buy an Osprey medium shirt, had to take it off
the wall display since all folded shirts are XXL. The manager comes
out the door after I walked out and she tells me they over charged me
$1.00 and hands me another jar of Pepper Jam to compensate me.</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">We take an Uber to
Enterprise to rent a car at 1:00PM. Enterprise no longer “picks
you up” unless you live next door. We go to Costco (first time
this year) and Best Buy to get a better charger for my iPad Air 5.</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">Back at the boat we
put everything away. We do not hear back from Charla until later and
she says tomorrow night would be better for her for dinner. So we
head out to Red Robin for a quick dinner. We have never been to a Red
Robin, don’t need to go out of my way to do that again. Another
stop at Walmart and Food Lion and then back to the boat.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZ6IetkG_gieBgw1tEuoHRZygDT5Xuf7FYh_ztF1w18ZqVsOHVgcrHEAO_O7Sc93arOkODGj7IzV_JNZ8Wx9tl8HDGdvuJN2kDYNmTpneSmcyBv91qAiZLWVbIaBtQz8OxC8X44GUIsbXVusaZhqTG3fptitKvw0F-gqgYnofDkueMMyh_5qC7OUgLw/s4032/IMG_6828.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZ6IetkG_gieBgw1tEuoHRZygDT5Xuf7FYh_ztF1w18ZqVsOHVgcrHEAO_O7Sc93arOkODGj7IzV_JNZ8Wx9tl8HDGdvuJN2kDYNmTpneSmcyBv91qAiZLWVbIaBtQz8OxC8X44GUIsbXVusaZhqTG3fptitKvw0F-gqgYnofDkueMMyh_5qC7OUgLw/w640-h480/IMG_6828.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Manana on the gas dock, an easy in and out<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

by 7:00am. Sunny but cool morning morning. Very windy, but out of the
southeast. Currents and wind was mostly in our favor today. When we
get on the lower Wacamaw River the current is against us, but with a
partial head sail out we are traveling north more than one knot over
our normal cruising speed of 6 knots. This is with nearly one knot of
current against us. One gust hits us pretty hard and slide knocks my
laptop to the floor which I thought was somewhat secure. </p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-3kDY8e_1DvSGA75-zvcyuU7KU19NeJWyV-LEHVCODrFwU-_zDJG_9DgFzLtMAjvRUW1Ho1GlY0-SjjqCdA588ZW4A28Hdm9UO_0J8y4e2r1At9qnYMglKGWygkeWZWWXsDys_jzMqC6ZhMI92f2CpESX6AUpcm5nUL-AzonTSuZnfN2qj9sbT0PLg/s4032/IMG_6799.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-3kDY8e_1DvSGA75-zvcyuU7KU19NeJWyV-LEHVCODrFwU-_zDJG_9DgFzLtMAjvRUW1Ho1GlY0-SjjqCdA588ZW4A28Hdm9UO_0J8y4e2r1At9qnYMglKGWygkeWZWWXsDys_jzMqC6ZhMI92f2CpESX6AUpcm5nUL-AzonTSuZnfN2qj9sbT0PLg/w640-h480/IMG_6799.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Flying up the Wacamaw<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">We detour

another day because of the forecast high winds, gusts to 40 knots. We
work on the boat, blog, vacuuming. Linda bakes some banana bread
which I quickly reduce in size. We take another walk to the beach and
watch the impressive waves breaking. Dinner again at the “Islander”.
Today with the high winds and cool cloudy weather the restaurant
is not very busy. No pleasure boating today in this wind. I fill the
water tanks and prepare the boat for leaving tomorrow for a long day.
We get our last game of cards with Mark and Karen for this trip. We
will be stopping at Osprey to visit Linda’s niece, Karen.

don’t leave until 9:00AM, but we have two bridges to time. Wappoo
Creek bridge just west of Charleston opens just once and hour. On
the other side of Charleston by Island of Palms I screw up and somehow
though the Ben Sawyer bridge opened on demand on weekends. When I
discover my error that they only open on the hour, I speed up a few
miles before. We get lucky and just make the opening with a little

forecast changes again and thunderstorms are no longer in the
forecast. So Mark feels we should leave today. We leave at 9:00AM to
another overcast day. Since we had planned on staying two days we
were put on an inside dock instead of the facedock. We arrived near
slack tide, but leaving now we have some current to deal with. We
leave without any incidents. Ladies Island will not reimburse us for
the second day we paid for.<p></p>

today. We have a couple shallow creeks and cuts to navigate, Ashepoo
Coosaw cutoff and Watts Cut. Watts Cut we get to do at high tide, but
unfortunately a Dredge is waiting west of Watts wait for high tide
and a favorable current as we approach. They slowly head into Watt
Cut just ahead of us. We do squeeze by them on the far end of the
cut.</p><br /><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhPctZvOtXB5NNZ8FpX4DehxIaMIXi-Btc3skFBsIAdPgtFQ1rpt1kIGoqzaXZ_q6XTcyNMO6S0B45vVfR1Wmncxnf_TZ0kWjkLaVzTVjQlQauUiMPhatQBAkrhIpkraNXcQIcdzeD99T9sefw353v9MpJ_d0efsLPC3yfmzxQPO-1lkjdR7lyf0iAQ/s4032/IMG_6725.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhPctZvOtXB5NNZ8FpX4DehxIaMIXi-Btc3skFBsIAdPgtFQ1rpt1kIGoqzaXZ_q6XTcyNMO6S0B45vVfR1Wmncxnf_TZ0kWjkLaVzTVjQlQauUiMPhatQBAkrhIpkraNXcQIcdzeD99T9sefw353v9MpJ_d0efsLPC3yfmzxQPO-1lkjdR7lyf0iAQ/w400-h300/IMG_6725.HEIC" width="400" /></a>

I
take the boat to the fuel dock just before 7:00AM for a pumpout and
to refill the diesel rail cans. Another windy, overcast, dreary day.
We get to Lady’s Island around 3:00PM Aaron the dockmaster who we
met last Fall has improved the docking information by texting a Google
Earth view with our slip marked. He also texts the currents and tides
at the time of our arrival. I wish other marinas were this smart.
Aaron also makes a reservation at the Dockhouse restaurant next to
the Marina for us. Karen had made a reservations for two days before
we arrive, we did that too. The forecast had called out Thunderstorms
over the next two days. We had originally planned to anchor out in
Factory Creek near the marina. <p></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwZZft3wuPobocJL21x711Dofn9HntaCGCWFxQznp6hRXLY2U3BlCxYHrm-H_5ApIoCiJlp6Ejw2u5_xuPdRNG-nA_WB-IA_4a1tixn8F3s9cnqm7UYFEtx9Hrq3ECDniUesYhkfoT9EmFUZIc7rMh775-neQv7qnS4amNPQWtgKsz588d-tXyuG5Vw/s4032/IMG_6704.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwZZft3wuPobocJL21x711Dofn9HntaCGCWFxQznp6hRXLY2U3BlCxYHrm-H_5ApIoCiJlp6Ejw2u5_xuPdRNG-nA_WB-IA_4a1tixn8F3s9cnqm7UYFEtx9Hrq3ECDniUesYhkfoT9EmFUZIc7rMh775-neQv7qnS4amNPQWtgKsz588d-tXyuG5Vw/w640-h480/IMG_6704.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">American Cruise Line - American Star docked at Beautfort, SC<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gU0IAlhZVKp5ft-un8dscA7NHEdcK8CFYbJpeDy_0jDpYobDizLxYPY1XYaQGHqvlnejWOby_O4aQXOFtR_32th8LcusE0uolT0Gm_5mp6_Re5WZBO5Cg42M0nJvdd66lEgV5zI5-aF0-Y0w_jcUPNhWQ98PbHliS1sa1XLsOrH6ovBVi8F0i-QErQ/s4032/IMG_6706.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gU0IAlhZVKp5ft-un8dscA7NHEdcK8CFYbJpeDy_0jDpYobDizLxYPY1XYaQGHqvlnejWOby_O4aQXOFtR_32th8LcusE0uolT0Gm_5mp6_Re5WZBO5Cg42M0nJvdd66lEgV5zI5-aF0-Y0w_jcUPNhWQ98PbHliS1sa1XLsOrH6ovBVi8F0i-QErQ/w640-h480/IMG_6706.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lady's Island bridge<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbpAZ4GzT--uQPbtGWi7wHrilUZr8KJaMTTkFeMny_LIvfByiNmdFgONcYBRKW31d2CegF-JF9L5Ebaa6aco3uOHS7cYit2yiWBAG4h-5k8NjXsInszT8NA-ubAzy_AfEyydcF4wSJihraF6dgMXfIwT5V58bV2Tcyw1bK3CGbwqvvaYMC5X3xIpqdA/s4032/IMG_6708.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbpAZ4GzT--uQPbtGWi7wHrilUZr8KJaMTTkFeMny_LIvfByiNmdFgONcYBRKW31d2CegF-JF9L5Ebaa6aco3uOHS7cYit2yiWBAG4h-5k8NjXsInszT8NA-ubAzy_AfEyydcF4wSJihraF6dgMXfIwT5V58bV2Tcyw1bK3CGbwqvvaYMC5X3xIpqdA/w640-h480/IMG_6708.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lady's Island Marina<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJGdYN29q5jYiszC5lxocQgpvWqjNySlkFlBfbYkLV7J1rN5NH5RruL_jgihth_GN1bjF-6_6E-TKzVGMTUTBrmxj_0S6EQft926UhyDZy8dpOFrC0M3SCifNsO_kEeaeBVrcADIHsWxbwlYeo7ReiyDPPk6eRcw9jksuMf2n81XVm-VW43KXUKGUlw/s4032/IMG_6707.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJGdYN29q5jYiszC5lxocQgpvWqjNySlkFlBfbYkLV7J1rN5NH5RruL_jgihth_GN1bjF-6_6E-TKzVGMTUTBrmxj_0S6EQft926UhyDZy8dpOFrC0M3SCifNsO_kEeaeBVrcADIHsWxbwlYeo7ReiyDPPk6eRcw9jksuMf2n81XVm-VW43KXUKGUlw/w640-h480/IMG_6707.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Manana</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /> <p></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

breakfast Linda, Mark and Karen take the curiosity car to CVS and
Krogers. I stay on work on the iPad. At 11:00 am we get ready to
head to Savannah for the day. I call and Uber and we are on our way.
<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">We chat with the
drive on recommendations for lunch and he recommend at place called
the “Treylor Park”. Sounds life “Trailer Park” and my kind of
place. We have him drop us off at one of the many “Squares” in
Savannah and we walk to the “Treylor Park”, which is towards the
River. Interesting place which ordered the chicken nachos which we
split and still could not finish. Not something I would order again
if we return. We walk around Savannah for the rest of the afternoon

Mark suggests that we leave at noontime since the weather forecast
has improved somewhat. Thunderstorms are no longer in the immediate
forecast, but we still have the north winds which will prevent us
from going off shore. We normally leave Jekyll or Fernandina for an
overnight passage to the Wacamaw River, which saves us a number of
days winding north in the ICW.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

Crescent River one of our favorite past anchorages going south on the

for the relatively short trip to Jekyll Island Marina. It is quite
windy out of the northeast and have lots of waves on sections with
long fetches in that direction. We take the alternate route on St.
Andrews Sound that I “discovered” 4 years ago which avoids the
ICW route that takes you out on the ocean which can get very rough in
northeast winds.</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">We plan to stay at
Jekyll for a couple days because the weather forecast is not looking
to good. Even though we made reservations a couple days ago we are
not put on the face dock which is makes it easy dealing with the
current here. We first fuel up and pump out on the gas dock on the
north end of the long face dock. We are assigned slips behind the
face dock which are perpendicular to the current which can make

at 6:30 in the morning. Since we are on the north side of the bridge
we don’t have to wait for the opening, but Mark and Karen do. They
need to go through at 6:30, before the bridge stays closed for a
couple hours for morning car traffic. I set our alarm for 5:30, but
somehow turned it off during the night. I wake up at 6:15. I wake
Linda up and we actually do leave at 6:30. Fast scrambling for us.
The wind is out of the north, on the nose, so we stay in the ICW
instead of sailing off shore to Fernandina, like we normally do.
Going out and in the inlets is about the same distance as the ICW,
but offshore is much easier. Once on the ocean, set the autopilot
straight for 50 miles, much easier day.</p>

(only lowered when a train is coming) to have it start lowering as we
are just getting close to going through. There is no warning on
the radio, no warning sounds or lights, is just comes down. We
quickly slow down by putting the boat in reverse and turning around.
After waiting 30 minutes the train finally shows up loaded with wood
chips for the pulp mill at Fernandina.

dinner is a relative new Mexican resturant which we went to last fall
and really liked. They had an 1-1/2 wait. I guess we aren’t the
only people who like the place. Instead we walk up to “Peppers”
an older Mexican restursant and get seating right away. Did not have
a very good dinner, which might explain the lack of a wait to get in.</p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

breakfast on the boat, we go for a long walk to West Marine and Winn
Dixie. I take our folding hand cart, which is fairly well loaded
after we get done at Winn Dixie. Stopped for lunch at a Thai
restaurant. In the afternoon on the boat I install the accumulator in
our water system. It stores water under pressure, so the water pump
does not run every time we turn the faucet on for a little bit of
water, much quieter.

good hardware that you won’t find in Worst Marine. After a long

“Ancient City” a brew pub that has one of my favor beers, Coconut
Porter. We met Mark and Karen there and play cards for a couple
hours.

and leave by 8:00, planning on getting to St. Augustine around
noontime, so we will have the afternoon to enjoy St. Augustine.
After an hour or so Karen calls us to tell us that the boat that just
passed them going south radioed them saying that the Crescent City
draw bridge was having problems and they are the last boat through
for the day. We call the bridge operator and she tells us the are
doing bridge maintenance on a fail part and they will not open until
4:00 PM. I feel like telling her maintenance is something you do to
avoid failures. After it fails its called a repair. </p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>

<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">With very few if any
anchorages ahead I decide that we should anchor a Fort Matanzas. We
have anchored there before over night, just in case the bridge does
not open today. We hangout for 5 hours or so before the bridge opens
at 4:30. We get to St. Augustine Municipal Marina at 7:00 PM. Mark
and Karen get a mooring in the south field, our preference. A few
minutes later we call and they put us in the north field. We also have to go through the "Bridge of Lions" to get to the north field. The bridge opens every half hour, so on top of having to wait 20 minutes or so, the bridge operator tells me only one side of the bridge is currently working, but we could wait and hour before both sides will be opening. We go through the bridge with just one side opened.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYv9APC4XNYLK2wgGsUW2TNSpdGUBxDpAEk_RBgUOXoGkSsm_8BU3jng8G3OdiHTUF9RurtYKA0B6QaZ1XCiycl4DYq8frdO2fWLY8I6mhxIH9OSCO_uElTkTUZapwdxyreZ2Ar7qK01IqBvMJZtwNI05j-9LtFtPkENanPB3lB77k201TyGviKx2e0g/s4032/IMG_6555.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYv9APC4XNYLK2wgGsUW2TNSpdGUBxDpAEk_RBgUOXoGkSsm_8BU3jng8G3OdiHTUF9RurtYKA0B6QaZ1XCiycl4DYq8frdO2fWLY8I6mhxIH9OSCO_uElTkTUZapwdxyreZ2Ar7qK01IqBvMJZtwNI05j-9LtFtPkENanPB3lB77k201TyGviKx2e0g/w640-h480/IMG_6555.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bridge of Lions<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">The north
field can be very rough in a northeast wind, but the winds are fairly
light for the next few days. Our mooring is very close to the
dinghy dock which is very nice since the south field moorings are a
much longer dinghy ride.

<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">After we have dinner
on the boat we ride in and pay our mooring bill and pickup our packages

8:00am. I start our engine to warm up and help Mark and Karen off
the dock. I walk back to our boat and Linda tells me the engine died.
SOB! So I spend the next two hours diagnosing the problem, tracing
fuel flow. Long story short. It turns out the short fuel line from
the engine fuel filter to the injector pump was not on real tight and
was sucking air into the injector. When I replace the engine fuel
filter I must of bumped into this line. Better to have this problem
tight to a dock than out in the middle of ICW. I replace the hose
with new hose I have on hand. Run the engine for another 20 minutes,
tighten up a couple clamps and filters and we are good to go.</p>

10:15 and arrive at Palm Coast marina at 2:30. North wind on our nose
most of the day, cool day of motoring. We have stayed at Palm Coast
Marina before, a nice little marina and still only $1.25 a foot. We
all walk to the “European Village” which has a number of
restaurants and bars. Mark and I got a Flight of various beers on

for Titusville and we dinghy into Cocoa to head to one of our
favorite hardware stores. I do manage to stump them on some of my
boat plumbing needs. Hopefully the parts I ordered to be set to St.
Augustine will do the trick.</p>

<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">We meet up with
“Shoreline Traveler” on the free dock. They got bounced pretty

Titusville and get there around 1:30 and fuel up and pump out before
we head to our slip. We meet up the “Blow Away Too”, Alain and
Diane, who will be hauling their boat in a couple days at the marina
next door. We go to “Hoffmans Table”, a new to us restaurant
that is very good. The old main street at Titusville is under going
a revival with new pubs, restaurants, etc. 10 years ago most of the
store fronts were empty.</p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7wRdryIHy9CxbLf9NuhD8Zj5Z-Xr-UZMfNk3E4WXu7i1J-u35udKj51V0Ib0KEPZtJz08XfwWzDnjOIOCWCICMkzZKK5bprmWbMc3v-YHoJ2gxm4c1neQEW1weJEj_BGWMtSMNbET4mkdmENYiSrwoly5laSm1SqtE7ALldvN5pEIvqo5A5oor6zKFw/s4032/IMG_6442.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7wRdryIHy9CxbLf9NuhD8Zj5Z-Xr-UZMfNk3E4WXu7i1J-u35udKj51V0Ib0KEPZtJz08XfwWzDnjOIOCWCICMkzZKK5bprmWbMc3v-YHoJ2gxm4c1neQEW1weJEj_BGWMtSMNbET4mkdmENYiSrwoly5laSm1SqtE7ALldvN5pEIvqo5A5oor6zKFw/w400-h300/IMG_6442.heic" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nile, Linda, Diane & Alain<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUix0ME254GmQsZTWUTGTI5tMsd5yd0cUjcevTT2iVC5iFely__RcbcAPkTESFvCG3uQSS6t0i9ZipK3Y7dJPBfBtd8W2dw4ZPZVbOA3X-89PAYGGXHHTmCGu36JUVFfApwGDO_QKFBWJHFHUm8cY1MveT09QxxPX38f5XdxUGfhMVTNB6AK2YkFbE9g/s4032/IMG_6447.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUix0ME254GmQsZTWUTGTI5tMsd5yd0cUjcevTT2iVC5iFely__RcbcAPkTESFvCG3uQSS6t0i9ZipK3Y7dJPBfBtd8W2dw4ZPZVbOA3X-89PAYGGXHHTmCGu36JUVFfApwGDO_QKFBWJHFHUm8cY1MveT09QxxPX38f5XdxUGfhMVTNB6AK2YkFbE9g/w400-h300/IMG_6447.HEIC" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <br /></p>

and the noseeums are out in force. Extra motivation to get us moving.</p>

last Fall “Shoreline Traveler” catches up to us, until they stop
for fuel. We will see them later as they plan on staying on the free
dock at Cocoa. We get a message from Mark that Karen has Covid.

<p style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">We anchor on the
northeast side of the bridge causeway to avoid the forecast southeast
winds building this evening. Turns out we made a good choice the
