Heading south to Fort Pierce

Shawnee left the mainland just south of Cape Hatteras, a major eastern point of the US for big weather, and off of Cape Lookout, NC.  Now 9 hours after leaving Shawnee is just north of Cape Fear and Frying Pan Shoals, making good time.

Before he left he installed the nice clean, fixed Esbar Heater in the cockpit locker.




And wiring work.

Maybe we need a few labels for the wires.

He also put a jerry jug of fuel in the bow of the boat for ballast in the anchor chain locker. It evens out the weight in the boat.

 

They also had a nice dinner out again at Floyd's.  Judith in front, her husband behind, Drew on the left, Reuben and Adam, our new crew member, on the right.

 

 Two IP380s left the yacht basin about 8:30 am, Shawnee following identical Touche´ with Judith Jacobson and her husband.  Destination sunny Florida.
