Fort of Steinhatchee Pier |
After the April “showers” of Sunday the 15
th
Monday and Tuesday proved to be exactly what we needed…land-based
adventure.
Well, adventure in the sense
of “hey look, there’s another view of the water!”
 |
Ya' gotta love a pizza place that monitors a marine channel!! |
 |
AND has a dinghy dock!! Fabulous!! |
Steinhatchee is a great waterfront community – if you like
fishing then it’s a GREAT community!
Sea
Hag Marina is more like a resort for fishermen (or women); well-equipped, great
ship’s store, bait shop, lodging, laundry and no see’um spray!!!
All essentials for a comfortable stay…did I mention
a mega dose of hospitality?
The kindness
of everyone we encountered – marina staff, restaurant staff, fellow
pedestrians, local fishermen, grocery store employees – were beyond measure
with hospitality!! Such a refreshing experience!!
 |
We went looking for the waterfall by dinghy (note the swift current) |
 |
...only to discover due to local flooding - we were boating OVER the falls!! |
As much as we enjoyed our stay I have to admit the planning
for arrival and departure was a constant conversation with Charlie and me.
Weather obviously plays an important in our
travels and we strive to make the best decisions for safe and comfortable
passages.
It must be the time of year
because found ourselves in the “lesser of two evils” choice for travel
days.
And while the lesser was better –
it was by no measure comfortable.
 |
A natural way to lower the blood pressure |
We departed
Sea Hag Marina at 6:50am Wednesday (4/18/2018)
and at 5:10pm we docked at C-Quarters Marina in Carrabelle.
Surviving over 10 hours of waves (1’-2’) on
the bow and beam I was more than done with open water crossing.
Don’t forget the “perfect storm” arrival experience
we had for two days getting to Steinhatchee…it must be the spring weather
pattern.
More on our Carrrabelle FL adventures in the next post! Until then, keep smiling and moving forward!!
God Bless
