34⁰06’15” N – 077⁰52’32” W

COLD!!!!! That about sums up our day today “Somedayers”, COLD!!! We left our anchorage this morning at about 0730, and hoped all day today that it might warm up, it didn’t. We only made it about 40 nautical miles today partly because we were to cold to continue and also because we encountered a lot of bridges today that operate on strange schedules. One would open every half hour on the half, and the next would only open on the hour, and they were fairly close together (like five miles) so we had to go very slow so we wouldn’t have to sit and wait for them. For on five mile stretch we were only cruising at 4 kts (we usually cruise at 7 or 8 kts). But we made our way to a very nice marina for the night and had hotdogs and hamburgers for dinner. The pics for today are of a big shrimpin’ boat (again no sign of Forest Gump, darn it!) and of a sailboat that tied up just a little to close to land at high tide. Hope all is well at the home front, and please think warm thoughts for us. Banana Winds standing by on 16… Clear.
