23 January - Day #51. There are more boats along the waterway now may be indicating we're further south or that the weather has improved enough that everyone is moving around. There were lots of bridges today and having a mast that comes down means meant no waiting for bridge openings. When calling marinas to determine the best fuel prices, Dave also found a great deal on slip fees. We decided to come into the dock and I called via the cell phone to get directions for our slip assignment, but things didn't make any since at all. The description of where to turn looked nothing like what we were seeing. Finally we realized there were two marinas in two different counties with the same name! We eventually got it sorted out and found our way to our slip. Today's highlight was seeing good friends (and fellow LNVT owners) John and Sue Mackie who stopped by and joined us for dinner. Today's picture is of fresh buttermilk bread dough going into the oven. At "C" dock in Harbortown Marina, Merritt Island. 58nm today and 1243nm total. BJH
