November 27th- Fernandina Beach to Sisters Creek/ Jacksonville FL
Today we went a little further down the Florida ICW to Sisters Creek. The boat “log jam” in Fernandina Beach has been breaking up and crews are moving further south. We were in company of a half dozen boats all heading to the same anchorage. Because of the wind direction and the heavy current in the creek, I had a feeling there might be problems. At almost the same time we anchored a storm hit. Several boats were right behind us and all were trying to anchor at roughly the same time. Anchoring Chaos again! Several boats had to re-position. One ran aground and needed to be towed off a shoal.
After the storm blew over, the clouds broke and the sun came out. Several boats moved on to better anchorages. The temperature climbed to 80F. We were finally able to open Evergreen up and dry everything out. Eventually the wind even calmed down and made for a nice evening.
Finally sun. Evergreen anchored on Sisters Creek/ Jacksonville FL.
It’s nice that it’s finally getting warmer again! Glad you escaped the anchoring chaos unscathed. We’re leaving Beaufort today for an overnight to St Marys. See you guys soon!
Hope your passage went well. Calm winds down in St Augustine last night. We spent a few days in St Mary’s on the last trip. Nice town
