The Adventure Begins 11-7-10

On a blustery, cold morning at 5:15 am , Kaos threw off the lines and departed Tarpon Bay Yacht Club, Port St. Lucie FL , bound for Fort Lauderdale, where we will have the lift cable on our dinghy winch repaired. As a result of strong north winds and building big seas, we elected to travel the Inter Coastal Waterway rather than incurr a very rough first day of travel out in the Atlantic. It was a long 12 hour day with lots of no wake zones, and waiting for scheduled bridge openings for the 10 bridges, we couldn't clear.  Dusk arrived early, and we are resting at anchor with a glass of wine in hand.

A special thank you to good friends and fellow boaters, Tom and Sandy Campbell for a wonderful farewell evening on Saturday night, and scrumptious prime rib feast for the Port St Lucie contingent of the Caribbean flotilla. As always, a good time was had by all.
