We got up at 5:30 to depart the Bahamas
It was dark, and I had Chris on the foredeck with a flashlight to guide us out of the walled canal. He was telling me there was plenty of water, but he did not seem not notice how close we were to the canal walls. He would not turn around to talk to me, making impossible to tell what he was saying.
Once outside the canal, we set sail in a beam reach. In an hour I realized that the boat speed would not get us to Florida in daylight. So we started the motor.
Breakfast underway was Kimchi Ramen, cooked underway.
We decided to sail for Fort Pierce. Carnival was good if we wanted to night sail.
We tried the Starlink but discovered it would not work until we were 12 miles from the shore. Eventually, it worked.
We came into Fort Pierce Inlet in the dark. Chris was my eyes.
We anchored outside the Safe Harbour Marina at 19:30 and dinghy in to meet with Mark and Jane. We went out for supper at the marina. Mark joined us for a beer, and Jane stayed aboard to sleep on Aida.
The next day we used Mark's car to do groceries and helped Mark to put on the Stack Pack and Main Sail on Aires.
Monday was rainy, and we stayed aboard Bellum.
