We had another nice day on the ICW with 20 knots of north wind. We pulled anchor this morning in Lantana and headed south to Lake Boca Raton. There were lots of beautiful homes to look at along the ICW. It was a nice short day. After dropping the hook we checked and cleaned the boat, I changed the transmission fluid and Tanya plotted our course for tomorrow. We are set to depart in the morning…guess I should ask Tanya where we’re going!

Type your email, request weather, or position reporting or whatever, then connect via the laptop. Once you configure what you want, you click connect and the rest is fairly automatic. Once connected this dialog box tells you what is happening and if it is successful or not. Well, it’s exciting on our end!
