The day started out great as the three of us departed the harbor turning north and headed toward
Palm Coast. I took the lead and ten minutes into the cruise missed a buoy and ran Moor$tuff into the mud! I didn’t fight the problem I just dropped the anchor and called our towing insurance company, Sea Tow. Two hours later, Sea Tow had us back into the channel and on our way! The other boats went ahead as there was no reason for them to wait for us safely sitting on the bottom of the
Intracoastal Waterway. Once free from our grounding, Barb and I headed north to catch up with Lucky One and Quest! There was no damage to our boat and we were grateful as hell that we had taken out towing insurance as the cost to free the boat from the mud would have been $1,450.00!

Getting to
Palm Coast was very pleasant. The scenery is beautiful with homes and estates dotting the shore line. The further north we cruised the land between the homes became more spacious. The personality of
Florida seems to change for the better as we move north!

The marina assigned us to a face dock in a channel off the
Intracoastal Waterway. They had one space open behind Lucky One where we are now moored.
