Two days until we depart.  First leg of the journey will be from Burnt Store Marina to Naples.  We plan on staying at the City Dock.

We anticipate being out for 2 weeks or so, and spend most of the time hanging in the Keys.

We have completed a few projects to help with this trip.
1.  Upgraded the ground tackle from 25 feet of chain and 150 of three strand nylon rode, to 75 feet of chain and 150 feet of nylon rode.
2.  We have built a snuber/bridal for the anchor.  It has a clip to hold the chain, and contains about 50 feet of three strand nylon road.
3.  Installed a dinghy and davits solution.  We have a 7.5 foot Saturn dinghy with a rigid inflatable floor.  For Power, we chose a 2.5 hp, Suzuki 4 stroke outboard.  We chose the Natley Dinghy ramp for the davits.  After several tests on Charlotte harbor, the system seems to work.  We have not tried this yet with a strong following sea.  The dinghy is adequate for two of us, but struggles with four people on board.

After replacing the racor fuel filters, we seem to be ready to hit the water.

The plan is to leave on Wednesday, first thing in the morning.....
