We decided to spend another day at the marina. Yesterday, we were still tired and we had boat chores to complete. We were also still adjusting to leaving the Bahamas. Laura and I shared a ride in the morning to the Publix. Fort Pierce has a free ride service. You have to wait a bit

The day began windy and squally, resembling the prior 24 hours. I watched the other boats in the anchorage while David slept during the congruent wind tide cycle. At the end of this cycle we decided to re-anchor as several boats had come in near us and several others had left our old spot. We

Cloudy morning at our anchorage. Solar input about 1/2 on a cloudy day but slowly trickling in. We dinghied to Peanut Island Park, charged our electric motor in a picnic shelter and had FaceTime with Michael and Becca and Banks. They are going to ski on Christmas but it is warm in Montana, in the
