| Still here. There’s about 60 feet of space towards the channel on the dock. |
The derelict boat is still here, tied up to the dock but mostly sunk. It’s a shame that such a thing happens. The locals will blame all boaters it contributes to localities just doing away with free docks altogether, who needs the cost and manpower to remove derelict boats? It’s sad.

Otherwise, the free dock is a great stop. It’s secure, deep enough (15 feet) and first rate (floating concrete docks). There’s no electricity but there is water and a park to walk the dog, along with trash removal. With today’s price of dockage escalating into the $2.50 to $3.50/ft range, it’s a bargain. I just hope the derelict boat doesn’t ruin it for everyone.

| A USACE survey vessel docked for the night at our docks from the Florida district. |
We saw a huge parade of dredgers pass by, hurray! We were also visited by a USACE survey boat. It’s was out of the Florida USACE district. I was promised a ride in a USACE survey vessel from Charleston when we reach that town but it’s still up in the air. If I get the ride, I’ll take lots of photos and do an article for Waterway Guide.
We have a short run to Fernandina on Thursday and an appointment with the Howards for dinner at Pepper’s at 5:00 pm which we’re looking forward to. We will have to anchor out since there’s no dockage space for the entire weekend. Then, it’s on to Jekyll for three days starting Friday.
