Finally Trapped
30 April 2014 | Channel Key
We dropped the ball and headed south. We had been dodging crab traps constantly. It is tiring to be vigilant to avoid them. So just as we are navigating a narrow channel, I notice something being dragged. And , yes it is a crab trap!!! So to maintain position we quickly drop the anchor, as wind and current are pushing us into shallow water. So as Diane called it, "Captain McGiver" jumps over board, knife in hand and remove the culprit. Free At Last!!
We continue on with nice 20knt winds to Channel Key
