It is saturday morning and here i am in bright sunny florida - jacksonville that is - palm cove marina. question - it used to be that when you traveled south on I95 and crossed into florida they had complimentary orange juice at the rest stop - not so on the water or did they cut it out (politically incorrect for an "oj") = (LOL). Again, the trip was beautifully calm except for about 1/2 hour after leaving jekyll island - got clobbered in the sound (4' plus from the ocean that i was taking on the bow quarter). Once i was able to take it as a following sea things were fine - you should have heard the vhf radio chatter about the 2nd mate having to put the inside of the boat back together. Got into the marina about 1 pm just in time to see the blue angels practice overhead for today's show - can't wait to see the real thing - they are supposed to fly right over the boat. I hope to leave early tomorrow and make new smyrna beach - if so, i will be one day ahead of schedule - it is possible that i could be in stuart by this tuesday - now i have to look at what IDA is doing and possibly some noreaster - this may affect my progress. I am going to try and download some pics for the recent 2 days - note the freighter coming up the savannah river over the marshland and the mega yacht thunderbolt marina - now those are yachts.

take care and have fun
