Comment: Departure is set for today. Anna Marie and I were up at 0700 and made the 0800 bus to the Miracle Mile where I was supposed to get another quart of steering fluid and Anna Marie went to Panera’s Bread for a supply of bagels.
Sadly, the West Marine wasn’t open when I arrived, so I met the Admiral at Panera’s for a bagel and coffee, after which I returned to the West Marine. I should mention that the Asiago Cheese Bagel is excellent and Anna Marie liked her Cinnamon Crunch Bagel as well.
While at the West Marine, I bought a few fishing lures, just in case we do the ocean route in the next couple of days.
Once back at the boat, we prepared for departure. We let Canvasback Too loose at 1115 hours and shortly thereafter, SUNSHINE was free of mooring ball #31. We sallied up to the fuel dock where we purchased a container of gas, pumped out the holding tank, filled the water tanks and settled our bill. We were underway at 1200.
Along the way, Capt. Dave made radio contact with his friends Archie and Kathy. They are about an hour ahead of us, and are stopping at Manatee Pocket tonight. We’ll stop at Faber Cove, and meet them in Peck Lake tomorrow.
The crew of Canvasback Too and SUNSHINE enjoyed a special turkey dinner this evening.
