    Woke up to a very foggy morning. Didn’t clear up until we had gone about a mile. We met one other fishing boat in the fog, and I didn’t see him until we were about 30 feet apart. But both of us were moving pretty slow! Slipped back in at Hontoon Island State Park, where I prepped the boat for travel home. I needed a haircut, so Rosanne did the honors. She is pretty good at cutting hair. At least mine….it’s pretty easy. Lol. Took a 2.4 mile hike back past the park campground. Showered, ate lunch and then headed for Ed Stone Park. Did get to see the resident alligator one more time before departing Hontoon. Also took some photos of the Turkey Vultures that hang out there. Took our time getting C-Traveler loaded on the trailer and things moved around for the drive home. This evening we are at the Perry, FL, Walmart. We’ll take a few days driving home, stopping near Clarksville TN for one night to visit with Rosanne’s Uncle. Stats for this trip. 277nm or 311 statute miles. 78 gals fuel burned. Average speed of 5kts. I’ll shut this trip blog down with this last post. I’ll be blogging again later in April for a trip to Lake Powell and then the PNW.Read more
