Sunset in the Gulf Stream
We have finally rested up from the voyage to the US from the Bahamas. Today we left Ft Pierce, Fl & sailed approx. 50 miles to Eau Gallie, Fl. It was an awesome day on the ICW. Of coarse we were blasted by numerous power boats but we also had great weather conditions & hit 7.2 knots at one point! That is FAST for a sailboat in the ICW. I was a little overwhelmed today realizing how far we've come as sailors.
Last sunset in the Bahamas
What a journey we've had...in so many ways.
Bye Bye Bahamas
We are headed back to St. Augustine for hurricane season. We will spend half the season in Phoenix visiting family & I will hopefully be working with my best girlfriends at Phx Baptist Hospital...that's in the works so we'll see. Scott will also work a little too so we can restore our cruising kitty & afford to do the many boat projects needed before we set sail for the Caribbean in the winter. Of coarse, those are the plans today. As always, they are etched in jello.
It's so great to be home but as we tune into the radio stations & hear all the political B.S. that is spewed out all day, I can honestly say, can't wait to leave. It's been wonderful to just LIVE without all this rhetoric in the background. Its amazing how intrusive it feels now.
Anyways, Jib is loving the ICW.
He seems very curious as we sail past all the houses...probably because he's never been in one! Isn't that crazy?! Can't wait for our road trip cross country as we
head to Phoenix. Jib has so many new adventures ahead of him!!
Love & miss everyone! Almost all the way home!!! XXXOOO
