Back in the old familiar Bridgeton Harbor Marina, right across the river from New Bern, NC!
The sail north mostly remained uneventful, although I DID get the pleasure of watching a rocket launch and fly across the sky for about five minutes, four shooting stars, phosphorescence, and many dolphins..
I also dropped in to St Augustine to visit my friend Skip as he cleared out his newly sold boat and headed to his home in TN.
I've found that I really enjoy having both a water-speed gauge as well as the GPS speed as this allows me to tell how much current is helping or hindering me. Of course, as soon as I came to this epiphany, the water gauge stopped working. Research tells me that the most likely reason is that a little magnet fell off. I wonder if I can replace it or if I need to spend $$$ on a new unit?
I've also found that I really miss the mizzen on Keel-N-Time, that it helps me avoid using autopilot a great deal.
And, one morning sunrise, I saw Monty as clear as can be. He still sails with me...
