Wednesday, October 27, 2010 – Isle of Hope – at anchor next to marina

Much of the morning was spent on the computers. Gale also switched out the anchors and exchanged the Danforth, which we had been using as our main anchor in the Chesapeake Bay, for the heavier Delta anchor, which will serve us better in Florida. We had to vacate the slip before 1 pm to allow for the new cruisers arriving but before going out to anchor, we stopped at the fuel dock for diesel and gasoline. After fueling up, we traveled only a few hundred feet before dropping the hook for the night where we could still use the marina’s WiFi signal and be out of the channel and in good position to leave early in the morning.
