Our departure from STA Friday was rough! After leaving the channel we had 4-6’ short period seas on the port quarter. It got a little smoother once the sails were up, but the boy got sick three times (and I think once for the Captain!). The kids stayed up on deck and honestly I think their spirits were great. Even though Trent proclaimed “I hate this” while throwing up, he kept drinking and eating and toughing it out. I’m super proud of them.
Conditions chilled out overnight with the wind completely dropping off so the iron gennie was brought online. With southerly winds forecast for Saturday night/Sunday morning, we decided to shoot for a slack tide entry at Fort Pierce inlet Saturday afternoon. We came in amongst tons of recreational boaters and dropped the hook behind Harbour Isle. We are happy to hang here for a bit while we look at weather windows to cross to the Bahamas!
