Motor On!
14 June 2012 | Ft. Pierce
Cat/ Hot
Awakening at 5:00 AM, we were miraculously able to clear the dock by 6:00 and were on our way. As we left the channel we were sandwiched by departing and arriving cruise ships. Who wouldn't like floating between Ecstacy and Sensation?
It was a very relaxing trip. I can't say sail, because there was so little wind we never once unfurled a sail. The ocean was placid and so were we. We read, we did crossword puzzles and watched the sea turtles and jumping fish as we motored through the turquoise waters. We did around 7 knots the whole time and arrived at Ft. Pierce ahead of schedule. We had a wonderful dock hand that made Gopher (Cape Canaveral) look like the Goober that he was, and were quickly and efficiently tied down and powered up. Life is good.
