Sunrise

Leaving our anchorage

Last night while at anchor the water was calm and the sky was filled with stars! It was probably one of our better nights on the hook. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise. This morning I was a little worried when leaving the shallow bay we anchored in so I slowly followed a sailboat out into the GIWW. At one location I was showing less than 2 feet under the boat!


Approaching Legacy Harbour Marina

Our view at Legacy
Spring has arrived! It is 75 degrees, clear, sunny and our 40 mile cruise was as smooth as glass.

Our boat is now tied up next to Barb and John Flint (Scoperta). It was great seeing them again. Also in the marina are the following loopers: Pat and Dick (Gypsea), Cathy and Jim (Merried with Her) and Barb and Greg (Gon Cruzn III). As we were tying up Double Trouble - x4 was leaving the harbor.

Tonight we will stay at Legacy Harbour Marina then tomorrow move up river for a visit with Kathi and Harold. From there we will return to Legacy and plan our route south to Marathon in the Keys!
