2 April - Day #29. Sunny, 75F and clear. John takes the dink out to 'sound' the depths around us. For the first time in 29 days we head north. J. Edgar Moser #76 is about 2 miles from the anchorage and we decide to take Nellie, vs. the dink, as the winds are up. As we approach J. Edgar Moser's dock we deploy our dink, yes we're getting our money's worth from the dinks new depth sounder, to find us an anchorage off the ICW. We visit with Bill Sharpe aboard J. Edgar. Amazing how much Tommie Chen changed the Tug's finish in the two years between Nellie and J. Edgar. It's clear that J. Edgar is the first step in what will become the LNVT 41: antiskid vs. teak decks; stainless handrails vs. wood; and no wood eyebrow on the salon's exterior. We then take a walk on the beach and then have a thoroughly delightful dinner and evening with the Sharps. 2nm today: 963nm total. DBH
