I used try to limit entries in this blog to boating related actives and overall things kind of moved to Facebook. Now back here after selling Degae, but continuing to travel. Stay tuned.

Day 1 St. Petersburg to Clearwater

Harry arrived last evening on schedule and Sharry joined us at St. Petersburg YC for dinner.

Today was a relatively short 60 mile day from St. Petersburg to Clearwater. This for all intent and purposes was a shakedown cruise to become better familiar with the auto pilot and other navigational features of the boat. Tomorrow will be a long day (over 160 miles), so we want to make sure everything is in working order.

Filled up both tanks (around 390 gallons of diesel) and settled in at Clearwater Municipal Marina. Harry and I input the next two days of courses in the GPS and Kevin did some trouble shooting on the bow thrusters, since they seem to have a low battery, even though the charger appears to be working.
