It was a pleasant crossing this time. We left Dunedin just before 10:00 a.m. yesterday and are now in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway headed to Apalachicola. The seas were never over a foot for the entire crossing, so we played cards, enjoyed watching all of the dolphins play in our wake, and did some fishing. Two ballyhoo bates came up bitten in half, one completely gone, one with a king mackerel, and one with a barracuda. We did not keep either fish. The sunset was beautiful, there was no moon, and the pictures Ray showed me of the sunrise was spectacular. I missed that while I was on my three hour nap shift.
We plan to nap when we get to Apalachicola as Barbara and her daughter Heidi will not be arriving by car until later this evening. Heidi's beau rode with Bob on "The Bar-B", so we know what kind of celebration this could turn into. We also plan to stay in Apalachicola for a couple of nights to recuperate. I'm sure Spike will appreciate that as he is still under the couch and I'm sure won't come out until the engines are off.
