We spotted the USNS Harvey Milk, still with that name on its stern, despite recent changes. Ben recognized the USS United States, which he remembered seeing in Philly during our 2023 leg of the Loop. It’s since been towed down here, where it's awaiting sinking to become an artificial reef.
Container ships lined the bay, stacked eight containers high. It was fascinating to watch the giant magnets unload them with precision. Our eyes were glued on this as we passed by.
We also took care of some boat chores. We defrosted the fridge, one freezer, and the ice maker. Monthly defrosting is a must or things get soggy fast, and we noticed that was starting to happen.
The highlight of our day was when we spotted our first dolphin in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GICW)! Still, no matter how many times we have seen dolphins, we all rush to look for them as we pass by. This time, Hattie had to join in on the fun. She gets excited and runs out to the boat deck with us as we all run to see the dolphins.
