At rest.
We departed late in the morning to catch the ebbing tide on the St John's River and said goodbye to Edward's Marina. It was a 10 mile run down the River to the intersection with the AICW. A turn south for a 7 mile stretch to Jacksonville Beach and Beach Marine. The current was as fierce as we had seen on the Waterway, so progress was slow.
After refueling, Julep got a well earned rest after 150 hours of running. She was tucked away in a lagoon at Beach Marine that has minor current and well protected, so we will feel good about leaving her. See pix.
Lots of projects and provisioning face us for the next few days and when we return in January. She needs a thorough cleaning and waxing to begin with.
Dave unlimbered one of new folding bikes and will use it to visit the local West Marine store for some needed items.
Data: 10:40 to 13:15. Engine hours 1023. Refuel at 16 gals for 8 hours or 2 gal/hr.
Dave's cousin Randy and his friend Julie visited on Saturday. It was great to see them and we planned to stop over in Palm Coast on our way south in January.
The Illini beat Ohio State (sorry John) in a great football game. Nice way to cap off a month of traveling.
Cheers - Ruth and Dave
