Seems like the inverter system that we have doesn't want to charge either of our computer batteries. So, haven't been able to add to the blog. This is a picture of Marilyn and boat at Shell Key, a Florida protected key. We made it to Little Crawl Key today and may be staying here for a couple of days until the cold front they are predicting has passed through. Suppose to be thunder storms and 16 or 17 knt winds. So I'd rather be hiding in this well protected anchorage than out somewhere else rockin and a rollin.
We actually motored out through the channel 5 bridge this morning which is one of the few places where we can go from the inside to the ocean side or visa versa. Sails were set and the winds were from the south and southeast so it was good for us to head west. Finally sailed for several hours on our way to Little Crawl Key. We did find out that we need to go further off shore if we don't want to run the slolum course of crab pots that are in the water. Thank goodness for charts and chart plotters. The entrance to this anchorage went all over the place. There is only one other boat in the anchorage and we met Harry and Mary from their power catamaran "Seagull". Turns out they were from Chippawa Fall, Wisconsin and they're Packer Fans too, go figure. Not very good access to anything on shore at this anchorage, so we may have to do some serious exploring if we have to stay here a couple of day. I'm loosing my shirt at Gin Rummy, so I guess I'll have to continue to pay up.
