We anchored our way here to Twin Dolphin Marina in Bradenton on the Manatee River via a couple of short-for-us days just to eat up some time before our Big Bend crossing weather window starts tomorrow (Saturday). It is 212 statute miles for here to the side tie berth in The Moorings Marina in Carrabelle, and it will take every bit of the 30-hour window I see with 0-2 foot seas (swell not accounted for). There is severe weather potential on Sunday evening when we will hopefully be secured. Additionally, the tide should be at a stand at high when we arrive, which is a good thing current-wise. We will spend the next day and a half getting ourselves and the boat ready to hand over to the owner and expect to be home sorting over a month's worth of mail by Tuesday afternoon 21 April 2020, thirty-six days since we drove off from home in a rental car to fetch this boat.
