Passage #2 to Florida

11-1-91
Underway at last, spend the night in bay where October lives. Russel there in the Dixie Gig, how many times do I have to say goodbye to him? Heather and Fabian seem excited about trip. Little problem which worm gear, very tight wondering if sustained any damage. Fabian and I dive the rudder, in the ooee goooee water of the river but find nothing.

Livingston the gate way to the carribean, check out with no problems, grab last minute supplies and a cold beer. This open roadstead always makes me nervous with the weather around here but the weather holds for the night and we are underway early the next morning.

Winds are very light until late morning and then begin to pick up. Decide we won’t make Placentia til after dark, so pull out the new belize guide and find a little anchorage about 8 miles south called Palmento Cay. About 4:30 we pull in, very selcuded surrounded by mangroves, we drop the hook in about 8 ft of water. Quickly find out I won’t have to worry about modesty, a real problem with 3 people on this boat so makes things more easy. Swim and relax Heather has most perfect breasts I have ever seen (that’s only an observation Jan.) and later some good Fabian cooking, the best part of this trip so far. Discover however that I’m spending alot of time on the pot, cramps etc. Sure feels like ameboas.
