It's a sunny, calm morning and we are sitting in the salon sipping our coffee. We watch NOBLE HOUSE depart the marina heading further south. Barb and Dennis are another couple whom we met at Brunswick. They pulled into the marina yesterday afternoon. Then I see a diver on the docks across the channel. He appears to be looking for a boat and so we wave to him and he acknowledges that he will be over shortly. It is Sunday morning and he starts working on the wrapped line at 8:30 a.m. and is finished by 8:55! Cost - $35.00.
The lock down mechanism is working. There seems to be nothing wrong with the engine, but Brian does adjust the idling speed. We decide to depart for Palm Coast which is only 26 miles away, but puts us a little bit further south. We make good time motor sailing (we put out the jib sail to catch a North wind of 10 mph)

Barb & Dennis were walking the dog across the bridge, when they saw MIDORI pull into the gas dock at Palm Coast marina. They are surprised and pleased to see us and come down to greet us when we are tied up at our slip. Plans are made to have supper at the New York pizza place which we remember fondly from our two previous visits.

We have another cool night, but the temperature is now in the 40's. We need shore power to run our heat pump air conditioner/heater.
