| St Augustine is doing major renovation on their storm wall by the marina |
We passed many dredgers today along with one that appeared to be a “pumper” - meaning it was situated halfway between the dredge and shore so it could hurry the dredge material along to its resting place on land. The dredge was off our port and more dredge pipe was off our starboard, we split the difference down the middle.

| It’s a pumper - moving dredge material from the dredger to storage on shore. Wonder why they needed so many outhouses? |
We arrived at the Sister’s Creek dock and found two empty spots at 1:30 pm. We took one but the other one is still available as of 7:00 pm. One nice thing about the dock is that boaters already there will help you in. We gladly accept the help but I imagine the ones already docked are protective of their boats too. It will be more challenging tomorrow morning with an ebb tide raging and with us having to back out but we’ve done it before.

| Five of us are here are first but one more joined us on the inside later on |
Larry and Terri came by to take us out to Pepper’s in Fernandina, one of our favorite restaurants. Many thanks to them for letting us enjoy a dinner with friends on our trip north! We will be leaving early to reach Jekyll Marina before the afternoon storms materialize, but first we have to get off the dock in an ebb tide Thursday morning! Wish us luck.
