New River Downtown Docks (docked)
February 17, 2022
How wonderful to have a quiet night of sleep and a hot shower in the morning!
As narrow as it is, there are still loads of yachts in New River. Today we watched one being towed with towboats at both the bow and stern. The towboat at the stern was traveling backwards in case it needed to correct course quickly.
John Ubered to a laundromat and caught up on our laundry. We also walked to Tarpon River Brewery on the way to Publix.
There is a wild flock of Muscovy ducks roaming near where we are tied up. Tonight we even saw some ducklings.
As we headed back to Lailia this evening we saw a yacht turn around right off our stern. It was a bit disconcerting because it seemed as if the yacht was only feet from us.
There’s a very small weather window tomorrow that we will not be able to use. We’re hopeful that another will open up next week so we can head to Bimini.
