Day 106: Off Season

Looking west
I'm surprised at how few cruising boats we've seen.  Not that I'm complaining as there has been no competition for the anchorages or marinas.  Still, it gets a little lonely out here.
Funny how nomenclature changes from place to place.  The ICW has become the GIWW (Gulf Intracoastal Waterway).  One's location on the GIWW is measured in statue miles east or west of the Harvey Lock and is abbreviated as EHL or WHL.  Nellie's currently at mile marker 200 EHL. 

Gray day
After yesterday's weather fireworks it's actually nice to be becalmed in rain and fog.  The sight seeing isn't much but the stress level is way down.

Helpful sign on Pensacola Beach
At Sabine Marina, Pensacola Beach, FL.  30nm today and 749nm to date.  DBH.
