Robert flew in to West Palm Beach airport at 11:30 am.Our friend Bill picked him up . Both our vehicles are in Virginia, awaiting our arrival. Robert drove the RV and towed the car up last weekend, then stayed in Richmond for meetings all week.
I had almost everything ready to go. Unplug the shore power, untie those dock lines, and we're underway at 1:30 pm. We motorsailed with the jib all afternoon.
Arrived at our anchorage at sunset. White chicken chili for dinner. Cocktails in the cockpit under an almost full moon shining on the water. Nice cool breeze. Beautiful night!!!
We tried to catch the news on TV, but when Robert turned the inverter on, there was a POP, then an awful smell of burning electrical. Damn!! Guess we'll be adding a new inverter to our "needs" list.
Robert used a portable inverter to power the TV, but no news found.
Looks like it may be early to bed. Planning to get underway at first light tomorrow.
