The big trip 2016 (part 15)

Im not sure if it's the medicine but the past couple days run together into a blur.  The same sickness that plagued Amber off the coast of the everglades now has me. (and the kids at home apparently)

I didn't sleep all day yesterday like i did the day before so i must be improving.

Pelican bay in Charlotte harbor was a great spot two nights ago. Quiet and protected. If we had a dinghy or kayak we  would have went to the state park area but there was no way in hell i was swimming. We fed the fish some bread off the back of the boat and that pretty much killed any chance of that.

Following our motorboating mantra we cut across the mouth of Charlotte harbor and entered what feels to me like the real intracoastal. I had to hold us in position for 10 minutes while waiting on Boca Grande bridge to open. Now we are deep in the channels with every fishing boat in existence crisscrossing our path.

It is really beautiful back here though. A totally different experience than taking the outside route. 

Happy Day seems to be not as leaky when she's just cruising the intracoastal. Maybe she gets scared when she's getting the crap beat out of her in waves and she pees a little.

For now we take it slow and wind our way back to Hudson. If this is all a dream I'm not ready to wake up yet.
