convoying to Fernandina

Caravan to Fernandina

March 13 2012

Celebration left the docks at 8:30 this morning.  Along with us S.V. Indulgence with Captain John and Admiral Carolyn, and S.V. Graduate with Captain John B and Admiral Jan.  We call the wives Admiral because one time in the Bahamas when George introduced me to the mechanic as his first mate (we know a lot of mechanics… everywhere we go, we know the mechanics), and Bodie the mechanic said, “Oh no mon she is not you first mate she is your admiral”.

We hoped for an uneventful sail to Fernandina,  unlike last year! For those who were not following us last refer to March 1^st 2011. We went on inside ( the ICW) because the waves were a little high on the outside. It was a little chilly but a very good day.  We got to the mooring ball about 2:30 so we made good time.  We all dinged in our separate dingy and went to our favorite restaurant Espana.  If you are ever in Fernandina it is a must, real authentic Spanish food.  When we returned …..our dingy had gone aground!!! Yes ! It was low tide and our dingy was stuck in the mud! Thanks to Carolyn, John and Jan we did not need to call Seatow.
