This is why we boat!

Well, as bad as the weather was the first two days of our voyage, today more than made up for it.  It was the kind of day you dream about.  Crisp, clear blue skies with almost no humidity and the sunshine just sparkling off the water.  The owner thought he was in heavy today.

Y Knot Now tied up in Titusville

Boat continues to run very well.  We finally topped off the fuel and have good numbers to work with.  Today we ran 162 miles and took on 143 gallons of fuel over the 11 hours and 40 minutes we were underway today.  That equates to 1.13 mpg.  We ran the boat pretty hard all day.  In a few of the no wake zones we were traveling at 7 to 8 mph and only using 1.1 gallons per hour.  Now that is pretty darn efficient.  Must have been going with the current, but still, very impressive.

We tied up in Fernandina Beach tonight.  Had a nice meal at the Crap Trap.  Some of the best hushpuppies I have ever had along with a crabmeat stuffed Mahi.  Tom went for the side of cow tonight and had a 16oz ribeye.  A couple of cold beers washed it all down along with a piece of Key Lime pie.  That is living.

Tomorrow on to either Hilton Head or Beaufort, SC.

A few pictures from around St Augustine today as we went through.
