| Sarah found the marina cat |
The night was noisy (according to Ann, I didn't hear anything...). The wind never died down like the forecast promised and it kept around 15 to 20 all day long with gusts to 25. The route south from here goes out into a sound where you need to do a U-turn at the extreme end. In rough waters, that can be uncomfortable if not dangerous (when the waves strike you broadside in shallow waters).

| We were fascinated how one tree limb happened to develop such a crook |
After a 15 second consultation, we decided to stay another day at Jekyll and wait for calmer winds and seas. The marina owner wasn't able to promise a slip right away. They were all taken but later in the day, someone canceled and we didn't even have to move from where we first docked. The wind continued to howl all day long.
Now we're looking at a calmer day on Saturday - according to the forecast. If prediction meets reality, we'll head south past Fernandina and dock at the Sister's Creek free dock in Jacksonville. We should get in between 2:00 and 3:00, hoping for a space since that dock can easily fill up this time of the year.
From the free dock, we'll head for St Augustine on Sunday for two days. Hopefully, the weather will be more settled then.

Good Morning Bob,
I've been trying to follow your track this year, but it either puts you at Alligator River, or gives me your 2020 track. I could be doing something wrong, but I thought you might like to know. I hope you get a good weather window for St. Andrew Sound and on to Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
Fair winds & Smooth sailing,
Lawrence Leonard
