As we got on our way this morning we heard Jacksonville Coast Guard give notice that the St. Augustine Bridge of Lions was closed until further notice, due to mechanical problems. By the grace of God that bridge is in our rear view mirror!
Today the winds were boisterous from the south and now from the
southwest. Based upon the noise in the
rigging and how we are pulling on the anchor, I would guess they are in the
20’s. We had to sneak out some jib,
sheeted on the inside, to help us against the wind. We expect the winds to swing to the north
during the night. Two peaceful nights
out of three is not bad. We are dug in
and well scoped and now I am going to try to take care of the halyard
noise. There are two other boats in the
anchorage, Pay Dirt, a DeFever, and a sloop, name unknown until the wind
turns. More may come. I thought leaving this late we would be
mostly by ourselves. We are not in the
thick of the crowd, but we have had company at every anchorage.
Crew and boat are fine and we are already looking for a
weather window to get across the Gulf Stream.
Love to all,
Dena
