In the Atlantic!

Wow, Moosetracks is now in a different piece of water, the Atlantic Ocean. We arrived in Marathon this afternoon following a overnight sail from Fort Myers beach. Weather doesn't look good to cross so we might be here for Christmas, well there are worse places. They have internet and everything else a good marina should have.

First sunset on passage

Well we had a great sail for most of the journey south. The late evening had a drop in find strength so we motored for several hours then stopped as we were getting ahead of ourselves, the wind filled back in at 3 a.m. and we sailed on through. Early in the morning we tried to fish and caught a Spanish Mackerel the first try! Luck is on my side!! Now my fishing buddies on Lucky Dog will not be impressed but considering it was a hand line at 6 knots in 16 ft depth it not bad and more than enough for dinner for 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rest was plain sailing as they say. We arrived between 2 British boats. Seems a lot of Brits are over here cruising this year this is the 4th boat we’ve seen in a week. We are nicely settled and ready to rest after the overnight.

Sail under Route 1 into the Atlantic
