A Man Goes into a bar...Not today! No groundings today & the engine ran all day without a stall, pretty much uneventful day. We did get to sleep in a little waiting for the tide to come in to give us enough water to get out of our anchorage area. We had time for showers and coffee and could have hung out for another 40 minutes since as soon as we got to the ICW we had to wait for the hour mark to get a bridge opening. Then it was a mad dash to get to the next bridge for the 1/2 hour opening. We pushed the diesel a little harder and unfurled the jib to get to 7.5 knots. We used the wheel pilot which came with the boat today. It seems to track alright, but not as responsive as the tiller pilot we had on Aficionado. We arrived our planned anchorage at Camp Lejune right as the Marines started a military exercise with boats, helicopters, & gunfire. There were about 6 camouflaged inflatables that came flying out of the same inlet we needed to get into.
Anyway, as promised here is the first of Sailor Lou's Pirate jokes. Please let me know when you've had enough!
