I found a narrow sandy beach right next to a small yacht club to take sailor to shore. We had breakfast, hoisted the outboard and dinghy, pulled the anchor and were underway by 0815. We stopped at the Alligator River Marina near mile marker 85 and took on 150 gallons of diesel at $3.69 per gallon ($553.84). We made 55 miles in beautiful weather and anchored west of Tuckahoe Point off of the Alligator River at 1430.
About 1630 we launched the dinghy and took Sailor to shore. Both shorelines as far as we could see was bordered by cypress swamp with little or no place to land a boat. We found one small patch of high ground about ten feet square with lots of brier, I climbed through the brier and put Sailor down and he just stared at me and wouldn’t do anything We tried the other shore but couldn’t locate any dry land at all and finally gave up. Sailor would just have to wait until tomorrow. We stopped by Mary and Charlie’s boat for cocktails and headed back to Seascape. We made Mediterranean kabobs and plantains for dinner. Star watching was amazing without any city lights.
