Last night, while the Owl's batteries were charging, we had the opportunity to spend some time with Marty and Jay, two New Englanders headed south along the ICW to Key West in the beautiful tug "Cruz-In." They began their journey 10 days ago in New Hampshire. They were nice enough to invite us aboard for some hamburgers, rum and great conversation. Topic of conversation included (but were not limited to): the inefficiency of the US Coast Guard, Marty eating live monkey brains while deployed in southern Vietnam with the special forces, the advantage of using professional delivery captains rather than some guy who wants a free vacation, and a special cocktail from Vietnam (the details of which are inappropriate for this blog, but ask us sometime, it's a great story).

We were off to an early start this morning, after enjoying "Miss Wanda's" breakfast at the marina office/roadside gas station/restaurant/convenience store, and were underway by 6:15. Today will be a long day of navigating the Pungo River-Alligator River Canal on the way to Belhaven.
