Bicki on watch
Our fog training wheels are off. This morning's visibility was less than 50'. While hugging one bank in this narrow river the opposite bank was completely shrouded.
Pilothouse vs. camera view
Nellie's forward looking camera was surprisingly good at seeing through the fog. It's aboard to help with night navigation. Who knew it could play a role in the fog?
An ethereal perspective on the quiet and foreboding swamp.
When the fog finally lifted it was a beautiful day.
Into Central time
At White City Nellie crossed into Central time. This marks the first time she's transited a time zone under her own power. She was robbed of this distinction while exploring Alaska in 2007 because the people of Southeast selfishly opted to remain in the Pacific time zone :-)
Today's route
I'm happy to report that the ham radio that continuously broadcasts Nellie's position is back on line. A nameless someone accidentally unplugged it's power cable while trying to fix the anemometer.
At anchor in Masalina Bayou, Panama City, Florida. 34nm today and 654nm to date. DBH
