Underway at Last!


Captain's Log: 4 July, 2014; Hour: 1550

We finally got underway from Fort Pierce at 1255 today. After an hour or so we ran into a hellacious thunderstorm. Thank goodness for the chart plotter and GPS. The weather cleared up somewhat, although it's still overcast. 

We made the turn at Stuart, FL and are heading down the St. Lucie Canal. We should hit Lake Okeechobee by nightfall. The plan is to run until around hour 2100 then dock at a marina overnight.

Pictures and video coming tonight.

Happy Independence Day, everyone! Yesterday is flying the colors off her stern.

  3. Phil- I live on the Trent Severn Waterway near Buckhorn Ontario Canada. I listen to you on my internet radio on WFTW. You will eventually be passing by my front door. It will be great to follow you on the Great Loop and maybe even yell hello on your way past. Rocky
