Sunday, November 27th, North anchorage, Jensen Beach Bridge

Katja, Geoff, and we said goodbye at Riverside Saturday night. It’s been a long, hard trip and we’ve done well getting this far together. We’ll miss them and are sorry we didn't go to the Bahamas together.

Zzzsplitch…we separated from Vero!! We untangled ourselves from the mooring ball, Plumpuppet in the middle between Interlude and Blue Planet, then waited in line for the fuel dock. After filling up with fuel and water, we were once again on our way, which took a little time to get used to after 10 days on a mooring ball. The day was uneventful, a beautiful, sunny warm Florida day. It was Sunday and we had quite a few powerboats overtake us or meet us, but all were considerate of their wake.

We entered the anchorage carefully and found 6’5” at high tide at one spot. We picked a spot to drop the anchor in the middle and in front of 2 small anchored sailboats. One skipper came up to us in his dinghy and said to anchor farther back from shore because there was a lot of electricity in the water this close to a buried cable, and we would hear a lot of crackles and pops. We up-anchored and anchored in the middle and behind the 2 boats. One other boat came in later.

We could see Nettles Island and Jan and Bob’s condo. I called Jan and waved to them and she said to look for their Christmas tree, but we couldn’t see it. It was a beautiful night and we were sheltered from the south wind behind the causeway.
