After spending two days getting necessary boat repairs accomplished in Fort Lauderdale and North Palm Beach, we are underway again with all systems operational. The big change since we got back from the Bahamas has been the extreme increase in the cost of gas and diesel fuel. The good news about cruising the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway is that a good portion of it is restricted to slow speed (7-10mph) which has greatly reduced our hourly fuel consumption while we travel. We are now enjoying Vero Beach where our daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren will join us for a few days of relaxation. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a month since we have seen our children and grandchildren.
Glad to hear you are on your way again after the hydraulic issue. Love the photos you have posted! Enjoy the calm waters of the Intercoastal and your family!
