Up anchor at 8:30 and out of Pelican Harbor with a strong SW wind. Yes, that's right, now that we are heading north the wind came around to push us along. Nothing like perfect wind and perfect skies to make a good cruise. It did rain a few drops last evening but we slept well with all the ports and hatches open. We scooted across Charlotte Harbor and Gasparilla Sound, and continued up the narrower waterway, still under sail and making such good time that we reached our destination, Palm Island Marina, by lunchtime. The afternoon was spent in their pool and jacuzzi, and doing laundry, and kicking back. The forecast is for lighter and possibly contrary winds, so we may have to power all or part of the time tomorrow, but still no rain expected.
