Fernandina to Melbourne

After a good sleep in Fernandina we were ready for some more so we once again went out the Fernandina channel to make time south on the "outside".  The day was calm but the current didn't hurt us and pleasant conditions make it much more fun than dealing with shoals and bridges on the ICW.  Windward and Maluka decided to make a day of it and turned west into St. Augustine but because the conditions were too nice and we elected to do another night and head to Cape Canaveral.

The evening motor was much more comfortable than the other night and we were given a nice sunrise as a present.  This passage was 164 miles and we finally began to feel warmth........NICE!!

Not too bad!





We made it through the lock with no issues and decided to hang for the day just to the west of it along with some really nice looking foreign boats.  There were boats anchored from France, Germany along with a French Canadian boat.

A nice quiet morning
