Departed Dog
Up at 5 to catch up on emails. Changing from central to Eastern time zone makes for a late first light! 10 knots and waves on our starboard quarter, running at 15+ knots NW channel deeper and easier to follow than the Waterway Guide projected. City floating pier washed away a few weeks ago. Anchored out and dinghy ride to the small boat harbor made for a nice afternoon at the museum and around town. We will be off to Tarpon Springs in the morning for some Greek Food and Sponges. In our 8 hours run, we burnt 83 gallons of fuel averaging at 10.37gal/hr. 370 hours on the Cummins engine.
Best: lunch at Tony's on Cedar Key, best clam chowder, ever.
Worst: big mosquitos at Dog island this morning.
