Jerry put the TV on the floor. I also put the lamp down, trying to secure as much as possible before we take off. If it isn't secure, we'll know it pretty quick. We are finally off around 8 am.
The secondary channel out to the main is really rough water. We rocked back and forth all the way out. I put the fenders away while we crossed. I told Jerry it felt like being on the Deadliest Catch trying to walk on deck while we are rocking and rolling. Once in the main channel, the water calms some but it wasn't until we make the turn towards Bon Secour Bay that the waters are actually smooth.
The new Garmin Chartplotter is super nice. Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary to us.
We are now (11:32 am) on the Gulf ICW. Salt water. We go from the wide open bay to a narrow channel. There are houses and docks on one side and not much on the other.
We see this big pink building on the left, It's LuLu's Restaurant, Jimmy Buffett's sister. We don't stop as we want to keep moving. It looks like you could just tie up along the dock.
Saw our first dolphins this afternoon. They were just in front of the boat. Too cool! Look at that blue water.
The pelicans are fun to watch also. They soar along the top of the water then do a big splash diving under. Not very graceful.
We anchor at Ingrams Bayou for the night. Quiet. There is another boat along the shore. At first, we thought we would have company then realize the boat is beached and there is no one around. So it's just us for the night.
Love the blog. Makes me miss you a little less and know that you are having the time of your life. Keep them coming.
