With the continued north wind comes a further drop in water levels in the Indian River Lagoon, the body of water by the Titusville Marina. It's at least a foot lower than normal and it's still dropping as the north wind continues to blow. We're wondering just how low it can go. We have plenty of water under us, 11 feet, so we're not worried about hitting bottom. It's just rather startling to see the water drop so dramatically.

Getting back to a semblance of normality, we had Pat and Kathy over for wine in the cockpit. It's nice to have company again and pleasant conversation after a year of avoiding all contact. Pat and Kathy are headed for the Bahamas on April 15, the same date when we plan on heading north. We got a taste of what it's like if you head north too soon - 15 to 20 kts winds out of the north with lows in the 50s at night. Such weather does not make for a comfortable ride home. I'd rather have mid 60s at night and high 70s during the day, temperatures we would hope for in late April.
The winds are due to die off late tonight, we hope, and Sunday is donut day!

Bob, if you are in Carolina Beach on your trip north, make sure you try Britt's donuts. They have almost cult-like status here. On holiday weekends, the donut line can be more than two hours.
John, I’ll give them a try. The donuts featured in the blog are made by a couple and it’s a local favorite. They will be hard to beat but I’ll try if I’m in the area.
