1.11.09

Slept in till 8:00. Jim was up early and had coffee made when I finally got out of bed. Kinda nice ..sleeping in. After a trip to shore with Raisin…we picked up our gear and went in for showers. Didnt pull up the anchor until after 11:00…WOW..what a ride to the inlet. 8mph +…as soon as we made the turn up the ICW..we were averaging 2.8…had at least a 4 mph current. It was also pretty windy and we saw this kite surfer. he was flying!!! Went by us like we were standing still..he did some high flying too..but  couldn’t catch him in the air with the still camera.1.11.09 010 We fought the current until we got to Pine Island at marker G25. A few sprinkles now and then….and we will walk Raisin again around 8 pm. We’re cruising toward Jacksonville…then probably S on the St Johns River. We’ll take our time heading home.

Hiked into Sailor’s Exchange..picked up fender holders. It gets the fenders off the rear walkway. Jim spent the afternoon setting them up….I’ll get some photos another time. Beautiful full moon tonite.
