Still in Ft. Pierce, we are going to leave really early, we felt we needed one more good night sleep. We are going to go to Cape Canaveral tomorrow, and it requires going through a lock. The lock has a bridge right before it that doesn't open between 3:15-5:30, we are hoping to get there before that time period.
Today we went over to the beach in the dinghy, while we were over there it started to rain, and we left all of our hatches open! Damn you Florida rain!! You literally can't turn your back without it raining, but to have to close the hatches every time we walk away from the boat stinks! It gets too hot inside with the boat all closed up like that. It wasn't too bad actually, nothing the fans and a little "Shamwow" couldn't fix.
Dahlia loves the water, she crawls right in and would keep going if you didn't stop her. She likes to nibble on seaweed too.....yummy!
We saw dolphins again today, they catch fish right in this little inlet where the marina is. There was one that was swimming just under the surface, and you could see his wake coming right at the boat, then he swam about 3 ft away from us all the way beside our boat. I swear I could watch dolphins all day. We also saw a manatee today, he surfaced right near the dock which Chris and Deason witnessed and I only got to see his tail as he was diving.
Ahoy Mateys... Been following along & loving your new adventures!!! Hope you can stop in Beaufort,NC... Would love to see you all.

We just had hatch covers made and we installed them a week ago, the difference in temperature after a week of being closed up was amazing. I figure about 10dig cooler after the week of no air. Also they work great during the day with the hatches open, they still shade and you get the air blowing through.
