Still heading North

I am pleasantly surprised that you are still reading our blog and wondering where we are!?!?!??!?! I have received a few phone calls. Today Sunday May 27, we have left the Charleston, SC area and are continuing north.
We had a very nice weekend with Kevin and Jeanne in St Augustine.
We had been having a vibration on the boat so we stopped by our ole stomping grounds in Fernandina Beach. After making multiple adjustments to the alignment, we finally got a Cummins guru to come in with his computer to check the engine. Apparently, just like the new cars on the road today, our electronic engine needs a specialist. He determined that we had a bad fuel injector. Of course this was on a Friday. On Monday the new injector was installed and we are now running smooth as silk.
We stopped at the Isle of Hope and rented a car to go into Savannah. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed getting on and off the open-air trolley all day to view the sights.
We have been cruising about 50 miles a day and making good time. Today is a bit slower, however, with the Holiday, there are hundreds of boats out here and the Intercoastal is very narrow where we are today.
We have anchored out the last two nights and I am trying to use up all the food we still have left. We are both rather anxious to get home!

Back in the States

I know I know I have been very lazy about giving everyone an update so here goes. We went into Nassau but only stayed 2 days................nothing but a big, dirty city. We left for the Berry Islands on Friday, making it to Chub Cay. We kept an eye on the weather because of the storms heading East and decided not to dilly dally. We left the following morning for Bimini and Alicetown. By now the storm was predicted to affect the Gulf Stream and Atlantic by Sunday night into Monday. We decided to make a run for it. We left early on Sunday and headed for Ft. Lauderdale. The winds were in our favor all day and as we got closer to Florida decided to continue further North. We made it to Lake Worth about an hour before the skies turned ugly. The winds picked up over night and there were thunderstorms and hurricane warnings. By Tuesday most of the weather had eased up and we knew the Intercoastal was a narrow body of water with little fetch. We headed North to Ft. Pierce, had a very nice dinner and talked with Kevin. He and Jeanne are meeting us in St. Augustine on Saturday morning.
We had a long day yesterday getting into Cocoa Beach in time for dinner.
Today we are on the water again, the winds are still strong but Red e Tug o can handle them.
