What an absolutely fabulous day we had today. It could not have been more perfect! After a peaceful night, we left our quiet anchorage around 8:30 this morning and had an enchanting sail on the crystal blue Atlantic Ocean. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm. The blue skies made the water appear even bluer. The wind was perfect for a 4-7 knot sail. The swells were light and allowed a perfect sailing experience all the way from Ft. Lauderdale to the Miami inlet, Government Cut. Glorious!
Glen Becker, a wonderful friend from Annapolis, Maryland, called us as we were getting close to Government Cut and told us about a webcam there that shows live videos of the beach and inlet. He posted a message on our website, telling readers about the webcam and the approximate time we should be seen on the video. His estimation of our time of arrival was dead on and he called us to let us know he saw White Swan and saw us take down the sails before entering the inlet. He said the resolution was not the best, but he knew it was us because he had been following us on SPOT. How cool is this technology??? What fun! Sharing our adventures with all of you, makes our living it even more exciting for us. Thank you, Glen, for your interest and posting the info on our website. (In case our readers have forgotten, Glen is the designer of our website.)
