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.
