Stay between the markers!
We woke almost before dawn to the sound of gunfire around us. The duck hunters were out! Boy, do they ever get up early!. I can't figure out how they get the ducks once they've hit the ground. I can't imagine that even a dog could negotiate the marshes, but they obviously have a way.
The boat was almost raining inside. Condensation was dripping off every overhead area, and running down the sides. The boat has had it's headliner taken out, and never replaced, so there is no insulation in the roof and sides, other that what was built into the body itself. That is a good thing, as the headliner in these boats (of this age) is supposed to break down and cause a toxic environment. So we are glad that someone took it out before we had to. But we do need to replace it with something else in due time. That will help to keep it cool in summer, warmer in winter, and drier all year round.
Today we transited a part of the ICW that got pretty shallow - 2.5 feet at low tide. The markers are supposed to delineate the safe area to pass through. There are green markers on one side, red markers on the other side, and anywhere in between should be safe. Obviously this is a guideline only!
