We arrived home Tuesday morning in what has become a recent tradition of moving in far too dramatic conditions. We anchored in Cedar Creek MM188 in the ICW Monday night. The weather forecast for Tuesday was awful; gale force winds, rain, hail, etc., so although we were only 3 hours from home we got underway at 6AM. The wind steadily increased to near gale force by the time we reached Fairfield Harbour. Then just to make the landing interesting the bow thruster quit working. We managed to dock safely with some unsual boat handling. Just in time; within another 1/2 hour the wind was over gale force and the water level in the creek dropped to a point where we would not have been able to get home had we delayed.
This blog is meant to keep folks who are interested up to date on our cruising. Since this cruise is over and we are moving into heavy duty boat maintenance we are going into standby mode with this entry. It will be active again with our cruise next winter. Have a nice Summer and Fall.
