Heading North – Ft. Lauderdale to Norfolk (Great Loop days 1 to 17, 3/12/2022-4/8/2022)

Various “boating” weather… some better than others.

Gotta love the Fish
The Captain, and a nice Land Rover in Fort Pierce.

Dad and Lucy hanging out in St. Augustine.

Hoped the attendant didn’t realize that the price counter had rolled over once. He noticed. A bit of pain at the pump. The gauge didn’t have any rust on it when we started pumping. Well used now.
Horses on the beach on Jekyll Island
The “dung wagon” following the horseback riders.
(At Bottom) We lost anchor and blew up onto the beach on the North End of Jekyll Island (GPS track shouldn’t touch land). Luckily able to pull off the shore as we were bouncing up and down on the sandy bottom. Not much sleep later, anchored in a very bouncy, and dark spot slightly tucked in behind St. Simon.
Made it through Lockwood’s Folly (this tiime)!
Morehead City… always a good stop. Dropping into Hampstead to see Matt Randall and Chris tomorrow.
Ok… had to stay a bit longer in Morehead City. Lots of wind. This boat blew up on shore over night. On to Hampstead tomorrow.
Always a good slab of beef in Coinjock, NC. Stayed a couple nights to take meetings during the day.
Back in Norfolk for 3 nights before heading up the Chesapeake. Approaching a month underway at this point.
