I caught the 7:30 bridge, and headed north on the ICW, went around the bend and under another bridge to the Camachee Yacht Yard. They told me I could come into this marina at high tide with no problem. Which was true. But the depth showed 11.5, I draw six feet, and the tide is five feet. When I docked, I told them I bet I touch bottom at low tide. They didn't think so, but at low tide at the slip, the depth was 5.6 feet, and the boat had clearly settled in - it wasn't heeled over, but it wasn't moving either. Rock solid, not floating freely at all.

The trucker is having trouble getting back from Michigan to pick up my boat. That is complicating things at my end. This yard isn't setup to have me sit around here while I wait. If I keep my Saturday flight, I would miss the boat send off if she doesn't pick it up until Monday. It isn't necessary for me to be here, however it is desirable on my part. We shall see.

I got the solar panels down and off the boat into storage, and disconnected the wire down below so the arch can be removed. Removing the panels was my big job for today in between the rain. Only I didn't quite make it, so I ended up a bit wet. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for pulling the mast. Rain is predicted all week and it seems to be covering the entire state. This last step has become a struggle with the weather and trucking delays.

There is a rather large pirate ship that takes folks out for a cruise. As it heads back south to return home, it is attacked by a small ship with a skeleton crew (literally, as you can see in the blog photo if you blow it up). That small ship is tied up here. I'm guessing that is so it can sneak up from behind and sneak attack the big ship. The scene is fun to watch as we sit in our Irish Pub eating dinner.
