We left around noon yesterday, waiting on a
favorable tide, exited the Sea of Abaco via the North Channel (Man-o-War
Cay), and headed west along the 100 fathom line. We had a favorable
current thought the day and night. Wow, our luck has changed. Or had
it? This morning, when we entered the main Stream, we are getting
predicted winds of ESE@10-15 kts on the beam but very short period waves
(3-4 second period) which made for a lumpy ride. But wait, the inlet at
Fort Pierce was waiting for us with squalls, wind against current, and
lousy visibility. At least the boat got a nice wash. We anchored just
outside the turning basin in the Fort Pierce harbor.
