This place should look familiar to you on Google maps also since this is where I stayed on the way south. Anyway, the anchor is set and I am ready to go to sleep. All-in-all, it was a pretty uneventful trip. Made better time than I expected, travelling 120 nm in almost exactly 24 hours. Talked to a few interesting folks on the way down, and the trip through the Jon Pennecamp preserve in the Hawk Channel was intense enough that I was super vigilant. That kind of thing will keep you awake no matter how tired you are. The Hawk Channel is a marked "channel"" on the Atlantic side between the coast and the reef that lies between the ocean and the shoreline. In most places it is very wide, but this was a stretch about 10 miles long that was very narrow and I started it in the dark. Anyway, no problems - I made it! This was a good learning experience for me. More single handing of Kristinly is always good practice and I am getting more and more comfortable with that all the time. I know that makes some of you nervous. Navigation skills are getting better. But also, I learned what it takes to stay alert for that amount of time. And as much as anything, I think what went well is I took no chances and was conservative in my decision making.

Time to hit the sack.
