Back in the intercoastal waterway, east fl.

We ended up staying in carrabelle, fl 13 days due to weather. Left carrabelle in the dark for steinhatchee, fl. Saw lots of dolphins, a flock of white pelicans. Next we left Steinhatchee and anchored in the cross greenway canal. Put out 2 anchors, next am could not get stern anchor loose so we cut the rope. Left in fog again... Picked up a crab pot rope, (UGH), so we went on to Tarpon Springs. On one engine. Had the boat hauled out, and the rope removed, fortunately no other damage. then on to Clearwater, fl, Sarasota, fl. And then anchored in Cape Haze Cove. On to Ft  Myers and our looper friends Lynda and Bob (Erika lin), came to see us. we saw lots of dolphins and lots of boat traffic. On our way again, to Port La Belle, Clewiston and Stuart,Fl. and if my figures are correct we did 109 locks on this trip and St Lucie was the last one.  Now getting close to where we began this loop, but plan on going into Patrick Air Force Base Marina for a few days. Mixed feelings about ending this adventure, it has been wonderful and yeah we did it, and. Hard to believe it is nearly over. Looking forward to Thanksgiving with family. We have so much to be thankful for.
