Well we made it this time! We left Ortega Landing at 8:30, with the tide going down and it was very shallow in spots, but except for a brief touchdown by Sweet Tides we managed to make it through. It was very cold this morning, around 39 so we dug out our winter gear but during the day it warmed up. It was clear and sunny.
Zingaro behaved well but the difference in speed with the old propeller is at least 10% less, if not more. The vibration is gone but there was a whistle that Juan though could come from the cutlass bearings. Tomorrow a mechanic will come to to try to align the engine.
Sweet Tides wants to stay and visit St. Augustine so we might stay an extra day here.
The trip was uneventful, we made it through the bridges and tied at the St. Augustine Municipal Marina. I guess it makes for more boring blogs but more peaceful trips.
