New Symrna Beach, FL December 2, 2008




We left St Simon early Monday and moved on to Pine Island, just north of St Augustine. This was our longest day trip, 90 statute miles. We got in just in time to anchor before darkness fell. It was a long day but in this area of the ICW both anchorages and marinas are in short supply. An uneventful (best kind) night at anchorage.
Underway this morning for Rockhouse Creek anchorage in New Symrna Beach, 77 miles. A fast but uneventful day. Saw more boats on the waterway today than we have so far, mostly sailboats. Anchored here about 3:30 with the most boats we have ever seen here. A little crowded.
A couple of pictures. Fort Morro may be the most famous fort in North America. It defended St Ausustine for hundreds of years. The second shot is the skyline of the city; no high rises here ever.
On to Melbourne tomorrow enroute to Vero Beach Thursday for a two night layover.

I need to get back in the habit of checking the blog every day. I missed a few days and apparently had a lot to catch up on. Also, I tend to lose track of where you guys are when I don't read the blog.

Nothing new here. Kendall and I are baking cookies right now to send in a care package to the troops. A friend is sending christmas cookies to the unit of a friend of hers in Iraq. Apparently, they are upset because they are the only unit in their area that have not received Christmas cookies yet :-). A small thing I can help with.
