Enough of these swamps!

Tested my new anchor remote, I jammed my finger in the windlass! Ouch! The swamps of the ICW are getting to me. Once I get to George Town I will stay outside til I reach Florida

Glad the water was warm

Touched bottom using the raymarine/Navionics dock to dock routing, when I reversed it sucked my new dinghy floating painter into the propeller! So dropping my anchor and letting the boat slide over to the outside of the channel on a rising tide, I dived under the boat in about 1.5 knots of current to unwrap an cut my beautiful new bow line for my dinghy 😢, other than this it was a beautiful ride down the ICW
