Today flew byThe tide didn't come up until about 3pm so we weren't under any pressure to leaveLast minute cleaning and making 100 Trips to the boat with all of our clothes, perishable food, books, and miscellaneous junk stretched into a 5:30 pm cast off.
We passed markers 1 & 2 and threw out the anchor about 100 yards southeastMarty and Wendy and their Michigan guests Amy and Eric greeted us as we settled in for a harbor nightThe sunset was beautiful and we called it a day.
We dined on leftover pizza from our send off party Right now I'm listening to Jimmy Buffet and enjoying a tropical drink and a balmy breeze
