Last night, darkness quickly approaching, I was met by family friends Joel and Brandi fromthe top of their dock. Joel was scouting for me. Joel and Brandi are incredibly fun, hospitable, and free-spirited. They hosted me on their beautiful sailboat, "Sahara Dust". Brandi and Joel both work in the IT field, smart folk who live in their sailboat year round, comfortable accomodation, too!
Last night we went to Sparky"s Bar and Grille for good convo., live music, fish tacos, flatbread salad, and beers. This morning, over coffee, Joel pariently taught me the "big three" of knot tying: bowline, clove hitch, and cleat hitch. I'm feeling much more knowledgeable and confident in my knot tying skills. Thanks CPT Joel! Brandi made us breakfast burritos this morning, delicious and hearty.
Janet, thank you for connecting Joel, Brandi, and me! Joel and Brandi are great people and wonderful hosts.
After reviewing the maps, Long Key State Park is the goal for today. It hosts tent camping.
