We got a final weather window from WRI and were all set up and ready to leave at hightide on the night of the 27th. We had such a great time at White Marlin Marina and will be so glad to winter with them again at the end of the year.

It was a beautiful day leaving to go to Roderiquez Key our first anchorage.
Very few crab/lobster pots to look for and I enjoyed sitting as lookout on the bow. Gary just enjoyed being out I think. |

| By the second day out heading to Bisccayne Bay our anchorage was called Hurricane Harbor. I had gotten some great tips on provisioning while cruising. As sometimes is is too rolly to move around safely below, it is a great idea to put together the days meals first thing while on anchor. I would put one of my ice bags (from the freezer) in a small ice chest with drinks for the day. Then breakfast and lunch would be things that could be hand eaten, like sandwiches, boiled eggs, snacks, canned peanuts. A friend at White Marlin said she would put the nights dinner in a small crockpot so they would have a hot meal when they stopped. I checked and ours drew less than1 amp. So first night out was lentils, and the second was roasted chicken with potatoes and onions. |
