DOLPHIN
After a couple of days in Georgetown we said goodbye to the ICW and put to sea with St Augustine in our sights. It felt so good to break out of the confines of the ICW and the Atlantic welcomed us with open arms. The sea was blue, dolphin came to play in large pods with speckled bodies and a mischievous spirit. We were motoring but that didn't detract as we sat on the foredeck and soaked up the sun. I even managed to break out the shorts for an hour.

ICW
Before we move on I must share this IPhone picture whilst stuck between bridges on the ICW - so pleased with it for it captures the magic of our time with Tim and Cindy.

We love Georgetown for its full of character which is captured in this picture. Tomorrow we set sail for St Augustine which is 240NM away so we are looking forward to a proper passage which includes a night at sea. The forecast is for a beam reach with up to 25kts of wind so it we cant wait to get out there.

Once we squeezed under the bridge it was full throttle for Georgetown with a night at anchor up a river off the ICW. I woke up the following morning to this stunning start to the day.

Hadley
Tim and Cindy came for an evening on board and we were honoured to be joined by their eldest Granddaughter Hadley. What a bundle of fun - always nice having kids on board for which Tracey has a bag of toys tucked away.

Incline
This is the sort of fun thing you get to do with time on your hands and not enough height. The dinghy is actually full of water and we later hung another dinghy motor and two people off the masthead. Pearl proved to a stubborn lady which is actually very heartening.

Height
This was the problem

Drone
As it turned out we spent a week waiting for the water levels to drop. This meant that not only did I get to the bottom of the job list I also managed to get on with a ton of things that I have wanted to do but never found the time. Making strops for the halyards and in the case of this picture taking my first drone flight. What an amazing piece of kit - there is some lovely images to come once I master it.
