After spending a week in Daytona Beach, FL for the MTOA Southern Rendezvous we are back under way bright and early departing at 0600 about an hour before sunrise. It was quite dark when we left the marina but we had a great sunrise about 0700.

We struggled with current against us today and for most of the afternoon we were running at 4-5 knots... we did have a great boost as we approached St. Augustine that pushed over 10 knots. I wish we could go that speed all the time... but 7 knots is our normal cruising speed.

Had tons of recreational boaters out today... should of expected it since it was a weekend. They zip about all around us like flies taking pictures and sometimes not watching where they are going. It provides a lot of entertainment for us.

We had a little show late afternoon with a bot aground and TowBoatUS on scene attempting to unground him... but I think they were going to have to wait on some more water as he was pretty high and dry.

Just before the St.John's River we had a nice little thunderstorm pass over with lots of rain and lightning. It was passed very quickly and by the time we reached our destination for the evening it had passed with only a little drizzle of rain for us to dock in.

We arrived to Sister's Creek and docked at the FREE docks provided by the City of Jacksonville. We really expected for it to be full arriving so late but were happily surprised to find only two sailboats and plenty of room for us to dock.

We were safely docked at approximately 1840 at position N30°23.894', W081°27.477'. We traveled today for 12 hours and 40 minutes covering 80.42 nautical miles averaging 6.35 knots.
