Again our departure time was driven more by scooting out from the marina and all that expensive fiberglass around before the wind and current kicked in, rather than a needing the hours to make our next destination. We glided between the obstacles with feet (not just inches) to spare. Back down the ditch.
Since Vero it has really been getting warmer. Their motto is "Where the Tropics Officially Begin". I thought it was a little silly, but it appears to be true. I didn't have any underlayers on at all, and it was still getting warm. We ditched the hoodies and were in t-shirts for much of the day.
Not coincidentally, we are back in the land of party boats and overpriced real estate.
We had a 4 knot side current coming into the marina in Riviera Beach. Heather had to crab in sideway to counter it, but did a great job of getting us in. I had to lasso the cleats from a fair distance, but it all worked out. We had tacos on the boat and tried to get asleep early so we could catch the slack current at 6a.
