We tried to leave as early as possible so the law didn’t come after us for anchoring where it is no longer legal to anchor. Last night Dan showed Darrell the “secret” to the outboard motor - there is a “deadman” kill switch like they have on jet skis which I had seen hanging next to the stairs and wondered why we had one. We got underway at 7:20 and motor sailed south in the ICW again. We are finding many things weathered and brittle from storage and age. The lines are weathered but good for now. Can’t figure out how to get hot water without the sun shower. I also couldn’t get the oven to light but I WILL figure it out!!!! Darrell has been busy tinkering and we take turns at the helm. We woke up extremely early today and I got a little grumpy with D. Of course waking up at all hours of the night because we are EXCITED about this new adventure is nothing new for us. We have seen dolphins multiple times a day - every day. Today we saw an Osprey nest with a mother and 1-2 babies. Winds have been 10-20 Knots today and we have had the main up as much as possible.
