Tuesday, May 24 - We're taking our marbles and going home!

The sweetest sound I heard this morning was the purr of the diesel engines.  Some of the most wonderful words I heard today are "We're ready to go!"  By 7:43, we were gone!  Buh-bye!

The boys !untied! the lines from the dock pilings and brought them on board.  We took our "marbles" and left with relief!

Since we've shaken some of the gremlins loose, a few random ones have taken temporary residence my computer and I can't seem to get at some other pictures.  More to come tomorrow!!

We've done about 98 miles today and we're in Harbortown, FL at the Fort Pierce Inlet.  Tomorrow will (hopefully) be an early day and we'll start to gain on it.

The dock pilings getting stripped!


The naked dock piling!

The bow lines being untethered




Lookit that smile!



Stern lines - gone!

Working on spring lines now

Freedom!


We're outta here!  7:43 AM






An Aventura sunrise, for you Natalie!



Mile marker 54

Some houses on the canal...






The Princess Cruise line terminal


Brucie on the bowsprit

Admiral on the bridge!!

Turquoise...

If you've ever cruised from Fort Lauderdale on a big cruise ship, this should be a familiar vista.

Everybody gets a turn on the sprit.



This is what relief looks like - to be underway!


Dolphins playing in our bow wake today.  They are so cool!
