limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?"―David Mitchell
The
rain the rest of the south has been getting all week finally caught up with us
today. We didn't get any severe storms, high winds or hail, but it did rain off
and on all day. The rains brought in a cool front, which makes it much nicer on
the boat. We spent the day reading, watching videos, surfing the web, playing
the guitar (Stan), playing Sudoku (me) and generally being lazy. It was kind of
nice to have a slow day.
A
large sailboat race leaves from Palatka tomorrow. We were told the waterfront
park would get very busy by this afternoon, but the rain put a damper on most
of the activities. The Mug Race is the world's longest river race, a
challenging one-way course along the beautiful St. John's River to Jacksonville.
I'm not sure if it'll go on with the rain or not...I guess we'll have to see
what tomorrow brings. We were also told there were around 80 boats registered
in this year’s race. It would definitely be fun to see them sailing on our way
north tomorrow.
This is the only picture I took today. A Common Tern sitting on the post close to the boat.
