Well Rod was up around 2:30 am this morning, said he was awake and had to get up! I think he accomplished most of the needed chores to prepare for our departure this morning!! Lol   He did come back to bed and rested for awhile then we both got up at 7am. We then discovered some dirty jeans that had grease and battery acid on them so we decided to wash clothes while we completed the preparation for leaving the dock here in Titusville. The wind was still blowing so we ask the marina dock hand to come assist us pulling out as we did have a boat beside us about 2 ft between us. Amber came and helped and without any issues we came right out of the slip and off we went!! We have had a grand week here but ready to head in south.
Traveled all day in cloudy skies, the sun would peek through a few times all day. The temp was 80 degrees and we had the windows open most of the day!! We also had the tide and the wind pushing us so we made good speed all day!! If you would call 9-10MPH good, and we do!! Lol
Rod had a good anchorage spot picked out just north of Vero Beach here at Wabasso Creek and it is a good spot for us to spend the night. The wind is considerability better so we are tucked in for the night. Bad news, NO TV reception!! So its been quiet, reading, watching the Christmas lights in the houses here on land beside us. OH and supper, I made in the crockpot last night of augraten potatoes and ham, served with green beans!! It was delish! Rod did dishes (I love my kitchen fairy) while I showered. PJ's on and resting up!!
We rode 65 miles today and hope to get in 70 miles tomorrow to be in Palm Beach. We want to beat Trump there as we are told they will be shutting down areas of the waterway when he arrives, and I don't think he even plans to come in by boat!! I guess they have to cover all the bases! Lol
Only a few days till Christmas and we do hope to be in Key Largo by Saturday!!!
Hope everyone is getting ready to celebrate!!
Love to all!! Ms. Fran & Capn Rod

ROd had to try on the new Christmas socks Paula and Jim gave him for Christmas!! To hot to wear them long! Lol
