St. Augustine to Jacksonville, FL

Today:          37 miles         5.6 hours          ICW St M “739.3”
Total:       1974 miles     284.7 hours

Departed Comachee by 8:30. We experienced mixed currents, beautiful breezes, bright sun and mid 80 temperatures. There were lots of small boat traffic as it's a Saturday.  All day we heard the USCG Notice to Mariners: The St. John’s River is restricted in the area off of Jacksonville’s Naval Air Station. A Naval 737 went into the water last night. It skidded off in thunderstorm with 136 aboard. No serious injuries.
The shipyard in Jacksonville was busy ~ 
          

     We made it to Jacksonville free dock by 3.  We were lucky. There was only one slip left.
