Down Again!

Waiting for the bridge in Saint Augustine.  "El Galeon"' the name of this Galleon. They struggled mightily to find just the right name. Little did they know what a wonderful perch it would be for the wondering/wandering osprey.

First an old world vessel from Spain, now a sleek young thing from Kiwi-land. Here's to my lovely family down under.

Beautiful

Fernandina Beach Marina. The guides say it's a wonderful place for cruisers. All you need, you can dock or take a mooring. The sunset was spectacular, but...........

we had to close the hatches from the sound and smells which were entirely obnoxious and noxious. This was to the south of us.

This was to the north of us. Our last stop in Florida.

Blessing the Fleet in Brunswick Georgia. 

not just for shrimp boats anymore

stopped in Kilkenny Marina, pretty laid back, but shrimp for 5 dollars a pound!

lots of Green Herons in this marshy place.

cats are pretty cool about it all now

20-26 knots of wind on our nose and the current keeping us broadside, in Bull Creek

rafts of weeds everywhere

"Pickle" met Ron waiting on the tide to get through Hell's Gate where the shoals shallowed up the channel to 3 feet in one spot at  MLW. He was anchored in Bull Creek the next day, so we chatted and got his picture. From the windy city of Winnipeg, he wasn't bothered.

We are now at Ladys Island Marina, Beaufort South Carolina, with transmission problems. Oh, and that's pronounced Bewfort. Beaufort is in North Carolina.

So send good vibes please, while it is nice here we'd like to be on our way closer to Canada. Specially since Isaac sent us the video sailing Bras D'Or Lakes
