Hello

Have arrived in Indian Town and pulled in for the night. Spent last night in Clewiston and got my fill of BASS Boaters. I had forgotten about the peace and tranquility of bass boats going by where I was anchored one after another and then returning before dark. They are such fine people. One politically correct individual slowed down long enough to tell me that I needed to take down my Rebel Flag that flies from the starboard spreader. Had to have voted for Algore. Of course I ignored him.

Crossed Lake Okeechobee today and should reach the East Coast tomorrow and start the journey north. Debbie I got your email tonight and will try and call you tomorrow. I will be in Vero Beach probably Friday and planned on staying a few days. My cell phone is 228-249-1080.

Everything going ok so far. The old Yanmar is running like a top, knock on wood, and the best I've been able to manage is motor sailing. The wind has been on the nose everyday since I left. From what I remember last time that is how it will be until Pimlico Sound or the Chesapeake Bay.
