December 3rd- St Marys, GA to Sisters Creek, FL

We went back down the St Marys river, crossed Cumberland Sound, and finally entered Florida. If it wasn’t so early in the morning, I would have had a shot of whiskey to celebrate. Coffee instead.

We could actually see Fernandina Beach for about a week due to the big industrial plant on its shore.

The goal was Florida but Florida is a big state. We’re going to keep going. Our eventual goal is the keys. We still have about another 500 miles to put under our keel.

During our passage today we received several pictures of snow. To all of our friends and family up north, I’d just like to let you know that we also suffered with you today. Lynne and I both were unable to wear shorts and we both actually had sweaters on. I won’t miss the snow this year.

Today’s anchorage is Sisters Creek which is in Jacksonville. The ICW goes through a big reserve so the city is distant.
