Voyage 2019: Chapter 2

17 Mar 2019, Bob's Walks, 26 45.576 N/ 077 19.44 W

Capt. Bob likes to walk. Parts of GTC are a bit hilly, especially "the Hill" which is on ... Hill St. My walks start with a circumnavigation of the settlement, usually walking to the point on Bay St. and back to the Hill on Parliament St.

Once past the Hill, I sometimes go to Gilliam Bay, but most times I continue on Loyalist Rd. and head for the beach access to Long Bay, the Cay's 'dump', or places off of White Sound. I average 10,000 steps with my highest is 22,000 when I circumnavigated the Cay." The first picture in the gallery is one of the tightest places where there is no shoulder.

19 Feb 2019, Heading Back to Vero, 27 39.564 N/ 080 22.284 W

We are off! We caught a high tide out of Black Sound at 0630 with calm conditions. Sad to leave but satisfied that we will be back next year. We did our usual ... motor-sailing with light winds abaft the beam and seas less than 2 feet.

We arrived at Great Sale around 1700 where we had the company of five other boats; 2 sail and 3 power. We had some dinner, watched the stars, and went to bed. Next day, we left at sunrise for an anchorage at the edge of the Banks

Wind and seas were unpredictably high but not bad ... except for anchoring on the Banks. Admiral is not happy but we will have to continue directly to Vero. At least we have a pretty sunset.

Arrived at Vero Beach Marina at 1100 and we were lucky to raft up with Bob and Sally near Red 12. No, we didn't put the ding in the daymark. Bob told us that it was his previous ball mate; "quite exciting".
