Isle of Hope

isleofhope3_0Some time after noon I motored up Turner Creek to dinghy in for fuel and food.  My back was pretty bad so I was glad the store was a short walk.  Plans of staying the night were abandoned and I left at 2 attempting to get through the bridge just beyond Isle of Hope.  Some of these bridges won’t open during rush hour and this was one of them so I pulled into the anchorage at I of H where they charge $20 to tie up your dinghy.  I  am in Georgia.  That is 125 miles from Fernandina Beach, Florida.  The engine is barely starting in the morning but maybe that is because the temps are freezing.  My rough goal is to make Florida by Christmas.  Meanwhile I  have firewood for the night and morning so I can’t complain.
