And the real adventure begins...

At 10:30 this morning, we left the Seven Seas Marina- our home for the past 5 weeks.  We said our good-byes to Dieter and Karin,

And set out south on the Intracoastal Waterway.  This first part of our journey is honestly not that sexy.  We motored the entire day because of the unpredictability of the winds on the ICW and the skinny channel.  Today's journey was a bit like driving all day- but still way cooler because I could make coffee and meals and Cyrus and Zander could move around....and we are on a boat!

We navigated our way in to Mosquito Lagoon using our iPad- with a cool navigation app- iNavX, our iPhone with an app that marks marinas, anchorages local knowledge and hazzards- all from user input, and a GPS...a little much for the ICW- but hey, we're noobs.... And we did it! 

Our current anchorage:

It is a bit chilly, maybe 70 degrees- I know, that's shorts weather in CO- and the wind is blowing 15 mph...but it's so peaceful.  Possibly because this one didn't quite make it through anchoring-

Tyler and I made a toast to our successful day and probably what will be a long night...is the anchor holding? What was that? Is the wind changing direction?

Now we just need Zander to understand that this is just as good as grass.
