Zinful was located in Key Largo, FL and we needed to move her to a DIY boat yard in Fort Pierce, FL to spend a little time getting her Loop-ready. That’s about 200 miles for our first journey on the boat! After spending a few nights aboard at a marina waiting for good weather conditions, we finally set out.
Our first day moving the boat north was certainly an adventure! We left Key Largo, FL early in the morning and stopped at a nearby marina for fuel, water, and a pump-out.
We’d realized that we received a free gift with our purchase – a full waste tank!
We traveled 43.3 nm over the day, first south along the eastern coast of the Keys and then through Snake Creek and north up the Intracoastal Waterway to Barnes Sound. We anchored for the first time in the sound, and enjoyed the peace and solitude of the area.
We had it all to ourselves!
