Ortega
Yacht Club Marina
“The person who goes
farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing
boat never gets far from shore.” —Dale Carnegie
Our
cruise today took us down the eastern coast of Florida and up the St. John's
River past Jacksonville and then into the Ortega River. This area of the Ortega
River is very pretty with beautiful homes along the shore, each with lovely
yards with azaleas blooming.

Yacht Club will be our home for the next couple of weeks. We plan to go home
for a quick visit later this week…we need a family and grand fix and thought
this would be the perfect time. When we return we will head further up the St.
John's River.
There
are quite a few boats in the area that we know...hopefully we'll be able to
catch up with a few. We spent the evening visiting with Greg and Leslie from Amalia, they were one of the first
cruising couples we met in 2011. It's always fun to spend time with them. Tomorrow
we'll drive down the coast to visit with our friends on Amici.

We're thinking about doing the St. Johns River this year. So, it will be interesting to find out what you think. We've heard great things about this river.
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting...when do you think you'll be in the St. John's?
