The Captain looked at the water even before coffee and it was

running 3 or 4 knots downhill! 

So let's just get goin' in our bathrobes. 

We were smokin' at 8.3 knots by 0800 hours!

 

Outriggers out to do some early mornin' fishin'

 

The dolphins appeared riding our bow wake.

We saw a little pup with mom this morning.

The pup was only about 3 feet long.

They approached the bow and then mom

glided the little doobiedoo right under our hulls.

You will see too many pictures from us of houses along the ICW

Looking east over Georgia's Sapelo Sound with

a view of the Atlantic Ocean.

We have a balloon cam!

Looking east over Jekyll Creek, Ga. at the

Hwy. 50 Bridge  

Capt gets a little break (about 2 minutes) while

Lynn takes the wheel in the huge, huge harbor

of Brunswick, GA. 

HUGE OPEN SPACES !

There was 40 feet of water

here so I felt I could nap for 2 minutes.

The I-95 Brunswick bridge that we didn't go under,

only passed by

Big shipos south of Brunswick

For some reason, it has taken us almost 800 miles

to see an open restaurant right on the water

Birds on a bridge

 

Found a little anchorage right off the ICW

Ready for Happy Hour

 

Sunset Peeper !!!

 

Jeeze, we are now over halfway to Key West.

It has been, cold, but it is no longer.

70 degrees today.

It has been enjoyable watching the deciduous

trees slowly going in reverse from fall foilage

to spring again.  We are seeing no colors in the

leaves now.  It is only green wherever we look.

 

Perhaps, the hardest part of the journey so far is

realizing that it will take 5 weeks to reach our destination.

It doesn't take 5 weeks to reach anywhere!

You can fly to New Zealand in about 24 hours.

You can sail across the Atlantic Ocean in 3 weeks.

You can drive to California in about 5 days.

Mason & Dixon did the whole line in about a month, didn't they?

But 5 WEEKS to somewhere?

It is challenging to think to HAVE to be somewhere

in a certain amount of time.  

We go 50 miles a day.  

We'd like to go faster but we can't.

So we must slow ourselves down, too.

We are working on that.

Lynn hasn't hit me over the head with a pan,

and I haven't thrown her overboard.

We are learning to slow ourselves down.
