The view looking back at Steinhatchee this morning. The fog was just burning off.
If you zoom in you may be able to see some of the buildings along the coast.
I'm anchored for lunch (and maybe a nap) about 3 miles off the coast right now. The weather is beautiful!

Nice. We up in the frozen north can live vicariously.

I did not check the air temperature but I noticed that the water temp was 68. Once the fog burned off it was very comfortable in t-shirt and jeans.
There was not enough wind for sailing but the purpose of the trip was to give the outboard a good workout. I'd had some fuel pump issues with it and was making sure it would run well at full throttle. (success!!)
