It
looks like we’ll be spending a few more days in Jacksonville…although today was
a beautiful spring day, the next several may be stormy. We really have no place
we need to be at a given time, so we will just hang around here till the first of
the week.
Today
we visited with friends we first met in Waterford, NY in 2012. They have a nice
place on the St. John’s River a few miles north of Jacksonville. We had a great dinner
at the Sandollar Restaurant overlooking Mayport and the St. John’s River. We
enjoyed catching up with Barbara and David, getting to see their place and getting
some local knowledge about the river. It sounds like there are a lot of beautiful
out of the way places to explore.
Stan finished waxing the hull today.

The St. Johns River Ferry connects the north and south ends of Florida State Road A1A. It shuttles cars from Fort George Island to Mayport Village.
It is always best when you have no specific schedule. That lets you make the best decision based on the conditions.
ReplyDeleteFair winds!
Sounds like fun! Except for the maintenance part. Biggest reason why Frank doesn't want another boat. When we had his sailboat in Corpus Christi yacht club we were doing more maintenance than sailing. But your blog makes it so tempting....
