Happy Thanksgiving, Ya'll

The day started early as we expected a long, long day. We planned to make it to Carrabelle which is about 45 miles away.  If the current is against you, that can make for a long, slow slog.  Since we will have to negotiate up a river and then get into slips against the current, we really want to arrive in daylight.  As it turned out, we had a ripping current most of the way as well as a favorable wind.  We arrived at C-Quarters Marina almost 2 hours ahead of our expected arrival time.  Morning Star is hosting a bodacious meal.  We all have so much to be thankful for today. 
We left just before dawn to some spectacularly calm water. 

We couldn't resist taking pictures of the mirror reflection with the mist in the
background.  So peaceful and calm.  A great start to the day.

More mirror sailing!

One of my better ideas, his and hers coffee.  We like our coffe but radically
different from each other.  West Marine has these great coffee presses so we
each can have the strength of coffee we like.

As we got closer to Lake Wimico and the last stretch before Appalachicola,
there were lots of islands along the way.

Our sailing companion, Morning Star.
