were on our boat doing the inspection |
Today
was eventful! We left the marina around
8:30 this morning saying goodbye to The
Last Resort and headed east on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. We passed other Loopers: Betty L, Latitude Adjustment, Louise, and Truant on the way. As soon as we crossed into Florida, we were
immediately met by the Coast Guard. They
boarded our boat and spent about 20 minutes doing their safety check. They were very friendly, professional, and
courteous and everything went smoothly.
We had heard from many boaters that this is common and that sooner or
later everyone is boarded, so we did expect it – and it will not likely be the
last time!
We
also saw many dolphins today and that is always a good thing. They continue to
entertain us – if only they would slow down!

Sunset over Navarre |
We
anchored out near Navarre, FL after traveling 50 miles today. At 4:45 pm, we took pictures of the first of
many Florida sunsets that we will see!
We
will head to another anchorage tomorrow.
