Started out at 8:45 and anchored at 4:45    8 hrs motoring   52 miles  Anchored at the Cocoa Twin Highway Bridge  ICW mile marker 897.3   Good holding

We left Palm Coast today!!  We said a sad goodbye the day before to Dottie, Rich and Aubrey.  We are really glad we had the opportunity to meet them and they will be a model for us in the future as we learn to travel lighter and enjoy life more.

Don stopped by and took some pictures of us on our boat.  We were bundled up. It will be interesting to see these in about 6 months and see how much we changed.  We had a cold but uneventful trip down the intercoastal and anchored out that night.  The anchorage was tight, between an island and behind some condominiums.  We were up the whole night worrying about the anchor dragging but it held.

Left Palm Coast Marina 10:15am (Early start ??)   Anchored at Sheepshead Cut, New Smyrna at 4:45 pm.

Ran aground in .06 feet of water.  Went from 3 feet to .06 in seconds. Used engines to back off.  

Estimated use 4 gal diesel per engine

Total Motoring time: 6.5 hours
