What a day!
Your captain was nervous because of the possible T-storms predicted, but your admiral said "what else is new?" So, we left Gilberts around 7:40 this morning and had an absolutely great sail up the length of Biscayne Bay. The wind was SE at 10 to 15. We roled out the jib alone and averaged 5 knots all the way. A really nice relaxing, quiet 37 miles.
Except - your captain forgot to take the slack out of the roller-furling line. This caused A) a huge jam in the line when we tried to take the sail in or B)Morgan learning some new "salty" words or C) all of the above. You're right C.
Hats off to "Calypso" and "Seminole," two trawler crews who actually understand Rule 13. You might guess, this is rare in Florida.
So now we are anchored at Marine Stadium in Miami, planning tomorrow's run outside to Ft. Lauderdale.
