So after 48 hours we have just passed abeam of Jacksonville. Without working it out my guess is that we have averaged 4-4.5 knots through it all. The squalls were intense but we managed them well. And today should be easy in that regard. We motored through the night as it was just calm. I expected more sailing and less motoring. And we have burned more fuel than planned as a result. So we will have to go with whatever wind/speed we get until we get balanced again. Until that time any ETAs are just speculation. On the good side we should cross into the great state of Georgia later today/tonight.
I am really surprised how few marinas have availability.
Just spotted a pod of dolphins. And we are sailing through the local shrimp fleet right now.

Saturday Day 2
wow more rain, more rocking and rolling. We are trying to catch up in our sleep and stuff but the weather isn’t cooperating. We managed showers this morning coffee and breakfast. It’s been quiet this evening, so Bill will lay down and I’m at the helm. Don’t think my pics came out from yesterday so I’ll try some more today. Later all!
Day 1
Our trip north started out sweet with a beautiful wind. The day ended with lightening and squally winds. We rounded Cape Canaveral at midnight. Presently motoring up the FL coast looking for a breeze. Had to change a fuel filter this morning. Likely because we got rolled quite a bit and it stirred up bottom sediment in the fuel tank. Passing Jacksonville late tomorrow. Crew is tired but all is well.
