Day two of homeward bound journey

HI F & F
Fort Pierce has a great inlet , so we were able to head out into the ocean. The seas were near perfect as we could hope for.A SE wind and 1 to 2 ft seas. We decided to ,take advantage of this and instead of stopping at the original place Cape Canaveral , we kept going and arrived in St Augustine around 5.30 pm. A full 8 1/2 hour journey going around  20 to 22 knots. The beauty of being able to go faster. Also, we were very mindful of the tropical storm forming down in the Gulf of Mexico, and wanted to get as far north as we could with the weather about to close in.
Pretty tired once we docked, so it was dinner on board and an early night to bed!
Over and Out,
