Hobe Sound Anchorage - Only two of us here

 

Only two of us tonight, plenty of room

It was a much shorter day than yesterday. We started around 9:00 and reached the Hobe Sound anchorage by R38 by 3:00 pm. What a difference a day makes! The winds were light and the sun was bright, all day long. We were in shirt sleeves in the cockpit while others in open boats were still huddled up in jackets and sweatshirts

Nice and calm

There were no surprises on the Bob423 track so it was uneventful in that respect. Navionics SonarChart has caught up to the depths in the anchorage and now makes a good reference for finding a good spot. There was only one other boat and he was far away, plenty of room. 

A peaceful end to the day

I took Hoolie ashore at the sandy beach which is nice because there's no mud. It's as still as on land at the moment with winds of less than 5 kts all night. We will head south to the Lantana anchorage by the Olde Key Limehouse restaurant and I think the crew wants a takeout dinner, I'll see what I can do!  

Peaceful night!!

Looks like you had a good day. Just started following you on this trip. Plan to make our first long cruise leaving Charleston in probably March. Not sure how far we will get. Have spent quite a bit of time on ICW north and south of Charleston but Florida would be a new animal. So keep the tips and suggested anchorages coming. Rick & Cathy on Indigo C36.

Did you get any view of the SpaceX launch - those southern trajectories (polar orbits) are usually visible pretty far down the coast.
