Got to Jensen Beach today and took a mooring ball so we could go and do grocery shopping. The wind was blowing at close to 20 knots right out of the north so we decided to stop and spent the night here. It's also pretty cool out on the water with the wind. We tried to anchor but I couldn't get it to bite even with 120' of chain out in less than 9' of water! The chart says mud bottom but the chain and anchor came up clean so it must be super hard mud! This is the 2nd time in 2 days that we've had trouble setting the anchor so the bottom must be different here for some reason.

This is the nearest access to a grocery store and they have a secure dinghy dock, showers, nice wash rooms etc. The store is a km away so we broke out our fold up cart which has done double duty as a grocery getter and jerry can cart on this voyage.

It was a pretty big store and had a lot of selection. We were used to Bahamas grocery store prices so it was good to get back to the US for better selection. Although, their prices are pretty high on a lot of things. Even without the Canadian dollar conversion we saw prices that were higher than back home. With the US minimum wage much lower than Canada’s I wonder how low income people can cope down here. Another reason not to become the 51st state! We didn’t have room to get a pie as it would not have survived the trip back in our cart.

Today shot is our handy dandy grocery/fuel/whatever you need to carry fold up cart loaded with groceries now that we are in the US. Food restrictions coming into the US change constantly so we were pretty much eating out of cans and the ever popular KD! We weren't there on singles night so no drinks unfortunately.
