Delightful Florida weather

Actually, there hasn't been any yet. Last night at Fernandina was like sleeping in a washing machine. For a big chunk of the night the strong tide opposed the 25 knot wind and it is hard to say who the victor was. The boat lay sideways to both forces while getting pummeled by the mooring ball on the bow, and bludgeoned by the dinghy on the stern. And I had to pay $21.40, for the privilege.  So I cleared out in the morning, saying goodbye to Doug, heading south in the rain. But there was only so much rain I could take, as well as a dearth of anchorages so I dropped the hook at 1:30 in another tide ridden spot. This time I deployed 2 anchors. My eyelids grow heavy, it is 7 PM and I am tired. Goodnight all, Charlie
