In which we end this leg of the journey
Okay, so well, we haven’t kept the blog up to date. We’ve been threatened by this darn virus (and honestly we just didn’t write anything) so we’re just now catching up.
After what I remember as a frustrating time in St. Augustine - not because of the virus but because Flagler College hasn’t figured out a way to sell tickets for a tour in the 21st Century, we dropped the mooring ball and continued our journey northward. We need to be in Atlanta for William’s upcoming Spring break starting on March 9th so we are heading to Palm Cove Marina in Jacksonville Beach to leave the boat for a month until we can get back and continue the trip.
The wind started to pick up and we ended up coming into the marina with wind gusting at about 25 mph in the exact wrong direction for us to come up to the dock. Needless to say it wasn’t fun and thank god for the bow thruster. The dock hand met us and through his Herculean efforts got us to the dock without hitting anything - not the dock, not the piling and not the big beautiful boat next to us...whew!
We start the process of closing down the boat....stripping beds, emptying the refrigerator, organizing cupboards and closing all through-hulls so hopefully no water floods into the boat while we are gone...
