Comment: We enjoyed a LONG traveling day! Given the weather forecast for the next several days, the crew of SUNSHINE, Canvasback Too and Tally Ho determined that it would be most comfortable to put in a long day to get to Vero Beach today instead of tomorrow as planned. Fortunately, we were able to unfurl the jib and motor-sail all day.
The day’s highlights included motor-sailing in gusty conditions, making up to 9 mph; seeing another pair of bald eagles (bringing our total to ten for the trip); seeing, waving at and talking to the other PDQ Sunshine. I have traded e-mail with the owners and had hoped to catch up with them in Titusville, but heard that they left the harbor a few days before we passed by.
We arrived in Vero Beach at 1630 hours after being underway for ten hours and twenty minutes. We will probably be here throughout Thanksgiving weekend.
