Winds were very light this morning so we got the boat ready and left the marina dock at 8 AM. The tide was low so I took care leaving the marina through the shallow channel and never did touch bottom. Even though it is Saturday the traffic on the water was light till about 11 AM then it really picked up with lots of crazies going all over the place at high speed most of the time. We went under quite a few bridges today only two needed to open for us and only a few minutes wait at each one. We arrived at Marina Jack and were secure in our slip by 1PM, then took a walk into town to look around and pick up a few things at Whole Foods. Cooked beef StirFry in the wok on the BBQ grill for dinner.
