Yesterday was a peaceful rainy day at anchor, but today was quite the opposite. We left this morning for Sarasota and because the wind would be 20 to 25 knots from the NW we took the ICW (Intra Coastal Waterway). With big waves from the back a sand bar decided to place itself underneath our port hull, and yes we were stranded!!!! After several tries we decided to call the towing company.
After a few minutes we were free but 450 dollars had to be paid by us, the Boat US would pay another $150!!!!!!! We were a little shocked. Within the next half hour the starboard motor alarm went of, so we shut that one down, not our day, luckily we found a nice spot in Marina Jack in Sarasota and after calling Mark, our Pensacola motor guy, Jacques could easily fix the problem.
Now to bed and forgetting this day, Ria
