It was a windy day with 2-3 foot seas on the ICW. Luckily it was on our bow and North Star likes that. We were taking a lot of spray over the bow so visibility became an issue with the salt all over the glass. We managed to go our planned 50 miles because after all it is protected water and not a great lake.
I have no pictures of the many dolphins that were swimming in our wake because the camera would have gotten wet.
We did not have our hatch dogged down so we ended up with a wet bed. We were able to dry it when we stopped since it was so windy. We washed our windows and spent the night on board getting ready for a repeat performance today since the weather is supposed to be much the same. The wind has veered more to the East so now the seas are less lumpy. We will be in skinnier water after the first 20 miles so we should have an easier time f it today. We should reach Jacksonville in 3 days and start heading south down the St. John River and hopefully nicer weather.
