Another great weather day! Lots of sunshine blue skies and temperatures in the high 80’s.
We moved our boat to a different marina for fuel and pump out then radioed Quest that we’re ready to move on. Carl and Ricki’s family departed early so we got underway by . For 55 miles we cruised the ICW which was a real task. We thumped the bumped bottom four times and grounded once! I was in the channel showing 3-1/2 ‘ depth on one gauge and 4’ on another but was stuck solid before another boat went flying by rocking her free from her mid-channel perch.

It was a long day but not so long to keep everyone from having dinner at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino. We met Joyce and Bill who were staying at a different marina and the six of us had a very enjoyable dinner.

Our marina is on the rough side but safe and secure. From the marina we traveled to the Golden Nugget by cab before returning to our boats early. We were told not to walk the streets after dark.
While in the marina office, a Tow Boat US Captain strongly suggested that we do not use the last section of the ICW due to shoaling with the high probability of getting stuck! We will take his advice and go into the Atlantic tomorrow weather permitting.
