Final Day on the boat

27 May 2021 | Slip C4 - Twelve Oaks Marina
Thomas Leising | Sunny and warm
Left our final stop at Pine Island at 6:20 and arrived back at our home - Slip C4 at 4:35p.m. Since there is a full moon the high, and especially low tides were really, really low. Going across the St. Lucie inlet at high tide looked like an almost low tide.

We made the last 2 on demand bridges at Jupiter and made the 3:00 opening at Indiantown. Pedal to the metal to make Don Ross, 3.3 miles away. We made it with 2 min. to spare and then the current was with us, almost 2 knots and we got to PGA with 16 min. To spare. The current was very strong and Tom had to jockey it around (something he does very well). Right before it opened the bridge tender had asked if we could expedite our passage since there were emergency vehicles that were going to cross. There was us and a sport fisherman going south and 2 large yachts going north.

Again due to the swift current we were at the Parker bridge in 5 min.

We came in at low low tide and almost slack. Tied up, power hooked up, turned on the A/C and Tom made some celebratory drinks. Then we'll take some things off and go home, leaving the majority of work and offloading over the next few days.

Thanks to all that read the blog and those who commented, that really made if fun. Till next trip...
Traveled 62.8 nm in 10hr. 13 min.
