I had hoped to have Kristinly back in the water by 1300 - 1400, but that did not happen until 1530. As a result, I was not able to make it to Lang's Marina in time to take on fuel and water before heading on, so I anchored here for the evening and will head to the dock when they open. Even so, it is great to be back on the boat, on the water. It will be much greater when Nikki arrives a week from today. So for now, the coffee is brewing and I feel that familiar sense of calm I always get when on the boat.

The weather is unsettled and wind is unfavorable (southerlies), so I am going to head down the ditch (ICW) as far as St. Augustine, FL rather than head outside. Not sure if it will be good to go outside then, but I hope so. If not, I will continue down the ditch and possibly head outside at Cape Canaveral.

One final note for this post: I am always so pleased to experience the southern hospitality of the folks in Georgia. You will never find folks more willing to help than these people. They're out there, but only equal. I don't always agree with their politics down here, but I love being around them.
