Steinhatchee, Fl – Cedar Key, FL. - November 11, 2008

Our anchorage last night was about 5 miles offshore in 18 feet of water. Everything was quite smooth and nice until midnight when, with a combination of wind and current, the boat began rocking quite a lot. We were both awake on and off through the rest of the night.

We were up at 6 and raised the anchor at 6:45. Although the wind was forecasted to be subsiding and coming from the east, it didn’t start out that way. The first 5 hours of our day were quite uncomfortable, almost the same as yesterday. The seas were confused with rolling waves.

Around noon the wind subsided and the last 1½ hours of our day were quite nice and calm. There were more dolphins again today, after it became nice.

We anchored at 1:45 this afternoon off of Cedar Key. Not as long a day as yesterday, but almost as tiring.
