Sailing across the Gulf, Ft Lauderdale to West End Settlement

We got up early to get the boat ready for a 6:30 am bridge opening to leave Ft Lauderdale. We had no problems crossing the gulf and getting into West End Settlement! We had great sailing weather.

Nice to see that I’m not the only one who has to climb the mast to open the sail cover bag. I usually get some strange looks at the marina

I have also been known to forget to open it before we take off so I'm doing it while moving. That can be dicey!
