Day 198: To Palm Coast

Day 198: February 1:  We pulled up anchor and got UW around 7:30, wanting to motor out of Mosquito Lagoon before low tide. Although we didn't see anything less than 6'9" on the way in yesterday, we didn't want to chance running aground in this remote spot. 

Not wanting to sound like a broken record but it's the same story. The wind is with us again, chopping up the ICW. During this stretch of the cruise, RV parks, fish camps, and lines of identical houses with identical docks lined the shore. The serene waters of the ICW,  provide folks who do not desire elegant mansions with manicured lawns, a scenic and tranquil environment. Simple living so it seems.




We passed through several bridges once again; the Main Street, Bulow (L.B. Knox and the prettiest one, the International Speedway Boulevard Bridge. With paintings of manatees and dolphins on its structure, it sets itself apart from all the rest. 



We arrived at Palm Coast Marina where we will be leaving the boat for the next 3 months. We are visiting my parents for 3 weeks in Palm Coast and then traveling to Puerto Rico (PR) until the end of April. Our plans include completing the renovations in the PR apartment before flying back to Palm Coast to get UW and finish our Loop! It's been a great adventure so far and I'm sure the final leg of the trip will be just as exciting. Check back in April for more about our journey on Slàinte Mhath.

Day 49, 50 & 51: Travel to Bad River Channel & Beaverstone Bay

Day 49: September 5: We were pretty sure we were anchored on granite here on Bustard Island so we kept checking our position. Our anchor is held by all chain; putting out 75 feet in 16 feet of water under pristine conditions most certainly provides secure holding as long as the anchor has something to sink into. But you can never take anything for granted. Luckily, there must have been just enough mud for the anchor to grab hold but the chain did continue sliding on the granite throughout the night, creating a haunting sound. The anchor alarm went off at one point during the night alerting us that we had swung out beyond the boundary settings. Being that the anchorage is narrow, there wasn't any room for error so John had set the parameters tightly. When the boat moves beyond that limit, the alarm notifies us of the change. Tight quarters are always more challenging if you are concerned about the possibility of dragging.  It was a lovely morning. The bright sunshine and gentle bre...

Our Adventure Delayed

Image
As I wrote in my June 15 th  post we were waiting for a new battery/charger inverter we had ordered from Canada. It did arrive on schedule and Captain John was able to install; we breathed a sigh of relief after testing revealed it worked.  We have had so many unanticipated “challenges” that it felt like we had received a great gift.    Our original UW target date was June 1 or thereabouts. It is now July 10th and we are still on our “pre-journey”.  I think pre-journey is a good way to think about this adventure as you can’t expect to just pull a boat out of winter storage, launch and go. Planning for such an adventure certainly requires getting the boat in tip top shape! It certainly boggles the mind though when things that ran perfectly at the end of last season become problems this year.    Despite the challenges we are fortunate they happened while in our home-port of Westport, MA where we can get them taken care of prior to our trip.

ABOUT US

Image
We are John and Bonny Gifford from Westport, MA. We have been married for 43 years and have two grown sons, Seth and AJ who are both married with children.  Westport is a small coastal town that boasts farm land, stone walls and the lovely Noquochoke River which lies between Narragansett Bay and Buzzards Bay. As life long residents of Westport our family has enjoyed the river and beaches tremendously.  Now that we are both retired, we are anxious to get underway on the Great Loop on Slàinte Mhath (Slanj-ja-va), our GB 42 CL. Slàinte Mhath comes from the Gaelic and translates into good health. It’s a traditional Scottish and Irish toast that we became aware of many years ago while enjoying a Guiness in the Settle Inn in Stirling, Scotland. Our bartender (George) greeted us with this hearty cheer, inspiring us to name a future boat with this hearty salute!  About 10 years ago we did end up purchasing that “future” boat, choosing the stately Grand Banks Classic. We got a tas...
