The Intracoastal Waterway is cut through marshes when you get up past St. Augustine. It's all very natural and beautiful... lots of birds and porpoises, interspersed with small town fishing areas. We had a nice day motoring north (the wind was too stiff to sail out in the ocean). My "middle" brother lives on a creek (through the marsh) off of the St. John's River in Jacksonville. I've always loved his house; he's stayed in one place longer than any of us!- and it was good to be there, and to spend a little time with family.
We came to visit by dinghy, as we were able to anchor in the ICW just north of the St. John's. Took about 10 minutes to get there!
Thanks, Jack and Mary, for the trip to the grocery store, and dinner, and for loving us so well. Alan and Eileen- your kids are awesome, and it was just good for my heart to hang out with you for the evening. Sorry we had to eat and run, but we were hoping to get back to the boat before dark. (We didn't quite make it...it got dark on us just as we got back to the river...glad we had a light in the dinghy!)
