Wednesday morning, hoisted anchor (learned to keep pushing like of chain into the well or winch would jam), caught sunrise again. Poor buttercup went 24 hours without a potty break. Need to get her to use the Lee mat.

Getting into St Augustine, pic of Caps on the Water, great place to dine. Then anchored in anchoring field because all moorings were occupied. Took pic at sunset of boat next to mine.
Exciting parts: reentering ICW south side of st John’s: ripping current w/ narrow entry and rocks just past mkr

Tuesday left Fernandina Harbor Marina at first light, about 6:45. The water on the inter-coastal was like glass. The scenes along the way were so natural, almost prehistoric. One could imagine a dinosaur grazing.

Sunday morning after picking up a mooring at the Municipal Marina (on the first try), took Buttercup for a potty break and to get some food. During the hop I ran my spreader lights on red and had a low glucose event that got my attention. Otherwise chilly but pleasant with 20 minute alarms

I have a prediction. If another human being causes Drump to die, there will be a day named after that person and they will be lauded by most people in the world as a hero.
That is all.
