We made it to Fl

WOW! What a trip thru Ga. With the help of the cold front, (20+ kts of wind from the north) and (for once) favorable tides, we flew thru Ga. at an astounding average speed of 7 kts over the ground! For once I wasn’t tied to the wheel for Ken insisted on steering most of the way. Once in Fl, the weather became warm and by Tues. it was 75 deg.

Ken keeps a sharp watch on the intercoastal waterway

 

In Fl. we went by lots of cargo facilities for off loading ships, here’s a few of them… notice anything? Lots of cranes but No ships. Lots and lots of ship yards to handle cargo but no ships,,, strange.

 

 

Our destination was Jacksonville Fl and with a favorable tide we motored up the St Johns river and tied up to the free docks in downtown Jacksonville. Tomorrow Ken leaves and next week my new crew arrives. It’s been a great trip so far and I hope that the 1/3 half goes just as well.

Ready to head back to Mi.
