Were free!
23 January 2020 | Cattle Dock Charlotte Harbour
Don Winchell | Nice and warm
Finally out of the canals and in the wide open spaces. Quite the thing, a self-run lock. Giant gates that would crush your boat, bad i instructions, robotic voices and poor maintenance, but it works!!!
Only about a 2foot drop, but still a lock.
We were met by giant dolphins, or porpoise three or five of them, swimming beside us and under the boat. Big-uns, bigger than the alligator. They just seem to be playful.
Raised the sail for the first time, or more accurately unfurled it. Sailing on a boat in Florida AND it warmed up.
Got the anchor locker mostly finished. Sara worked then we cleaned up a bit..
