There was this one dock, after seeing dock after dock empty, this one dock with all the pelicans!  There are many long docks because most of the ICW is very, very shallow 1' or 2'before you get to a depth for a boat.  We draw 5' so whenever we get to 8' we sort of panic. With auto pilot my sister, Chris, described our sailing as "push button sailing."  Well, this is white knuckle, push button sailing.  The constant watch of the depth sounder elevates our anxiety.  It will be 18' and then shoot down to 10' because of shoaling randomly from currents, tides, and wave action.  The good news is today we didn't go aground.

 This is the view much of the time.  These are the posts that mark the channel.

 This is Joyner Marina where we are tonight.  We went about 25 miles from 7:30am to 1:30.

Getting into this slip was a bear!  As we came in sideways between rocks with a 2k current against us, Drew was giving instructions from the deck.  I was at the helm screaming, "I hate this!!"  (He said he didn't hear me.  We almost hit the rocks, the docks, the pilings, other boats.  Just inches away to back into this spot.  THAT would be a good video.  Now that we got in and everyone said we did a good job, I feel I met the challenge.
