Resting at Anchor - Pine Island

We spent the day resting at anchor off Pine Island. It was still foggy when we finally crawled out of bed around 0930. It was a bit damp in the cockpit because of the dew. By 1100 the sun was shining bright and we were able to enjoy the balmy temperatures which rose to the mid-70s.

We had the best television reception over with 27 channels coming in mostly from Jacksonville.  We watched the Inaugural Parade. Then, we both took naps in the afternoon. We launched the dinghy and mounted the outboard during the calm period just before the sun went down. Dwayne was very pleased when the outboard started on the third pull of the starting rope. We are now ready to use the dinghy as we travel down the ICW. We won't be going offshore again until we make our crossing over the to Bahamas. Tomorrow, we will head in to St. Augustine to get on a mooring ball since high winds and rain are forecast for the weekend.
