There's not much to report today. We pulled up anchor at Tavernier Key a little before 9am and after a great sail, dropped it back down in one of our favorite bay side anchorages, Matecumbe Bight, at 1:20pm. The afternoon's activities consisted of lunch (pork loin sandwiches), a short nap for me while Ann repaired the sling seat, a snorkel swim check of the anchor by me, and Caribbean showers off the back of the boat for the both of us. In the evening, we barbecued chicken, read, and of course, wrote the blog and posted facebook. And to top it all off, Ann won at Solitare without cheating (she says). How could a day be any better than that.
We are expecting the wind to start ramping up into the 20+ knot range starting Thursday night (that's tomorrow) and stay there through Friday. So tomorrow we are going to pull into Boot Key Harbor and tie up to one of their mooring buoys. I trust my anchor but only when I have too.
