INTRACOASTAL 2014

We left Portsmouth around 10:30 am to make the 11:30 Gilmerton bridge opening. Continued down the water, I took the helm for a bit until we reached the Great Bridge Lock.

This is our third time through and it is still exciting.... to our port side is a park, where families are having picnics and people are sitting along the side fishing and crabbing. Quite lovely!!!! The coast guard were going to board our boat for a safety inspection but they did not have time.......they were very nice and friendly, we all had a nice chat. What you do is.... tie your boat to the side dock, the water is lowered about 2 ft, then the other lock is opened and the boats proceed out of the lock.  This is where we met BANYAN, who is now in Grenada! Dave and Alex hope you are having fun!!!

HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN............!!! (interesting view of bridge from the road on our way to get a bite to eat)
