Comments: Leaving Marathon can best be described as bittersweet! We love the harbor, the activities and life in the mooring field. But, we're looking forward to new adventures, a slow cruising pace and meeting friends along the way.
It's great to be underway again. The motors hummed along quietly and didn't miss a beat. We put the mainsail up, but the wind was too light for it to do any good. We even unfurled the jib, but couldn't get enough bit to have it draw.
We made our destination, the Little Shark River by early evening (1810 hours). It was a long, slow motorboat ride to get here.
