Now that we have this figured out, maybe not efficiently but at least we are posting.

Here are some more pictures we want to share. The first three pictures should have been on the last post but I still want to share them.

                                      

The moon shining down our canal

Sunrise on the canal at our boat slip in front of our condo

Some lessons are learned the hard way! This is the bottom of our dinghy, partially cleaned after leaving it floating for about three weeks. It wasn't too hard to clean but a plastic scraper worked best.

Now back to the departure

                                     

Heading down the canal toward the Gulf

Coming around the corner

Making way toward the Gulf

The blue blob on the stern of the boat are our bicycles under cover

Here we go around the corner, under the bridge and finally into the Gulf

On our bicycle ride around Moore Haven we saw our first "drive through" liquor store.

The lock had the doors open on both ends exiting Lake Okeechobee.

Navigator at Melbourne, FL. 

We didn't take a picture in Stuart because we were the dinghy among the BIG ones.

We were told to dock on the opposite end from the 80' Marlow, almost twice our length, and that wasn't the largest boat in the marina. I guess all things are relative.

Look closely by the right bimini support, we were photo bombed by a dolphin. Funny how you can't get a picture of them often and sometimes they just appear.

The St. Johns River was WIDE in places and calm.

And NARROW in other places.

That is a bridge open for the sailboat ahead of us.

We enjoy not having to have most bridges open for us.

This is an unusual boat we saw along our way to Fernandina.

There was someone working aboard. Apparently making it livable.

On our way to Brunswick we passed by a Navy Shipyard.

Notice the patrol boats making sure we didn't get too close.

Navigator at Brunswick Landing Marina

Last night just before dark we helped a 55' Prestige dock. The captain told us the boat was just off loaded from a ship in Savannah that day and they were delivering it to Fort Lauderdale. As you can see the fly bridge etc. are not installed yet.

New boats aren't delivered with full fuel tanks like a new car.

Here they are moving to the fuel dock before leaving.

The boat came from France with only enough fuel to get to a fuel dock in Savannah.

And they are off toward Fort Lauderdale.

This boat will cruise at 30 knots! and is worth around $1.3 million.

They said they would take Navigator in on trade. NO WAY!!!!
