It was so cold pouring in that jug of fuel this morning. An Albin 28 had come in just after dark and they waved on the way out the creek. The name of the boat was “Slow Motion” and I was to see them twice more with both of us headed up the St. Johns.
Somehow I did 61 miles. The Main Street Bridge in Jacksonville told me to come on through and then asked if I was still on channel 9 because they were having technical difficulties and had stopped the lift. I was coming on with plenty of tide behind me so I don’t think I could have bailed. A couple of bumps in the opening and the span started to rise again. I hate that crap. Anyway, I had forgotten how beautiful this river is and was very impressed with Julington Creek.
First I picked up my 6 gallons of fuel and then I walked across the highway to a great grocery store. My night was the usual. Cold with wind picking up after midnight.
We’ve yet to do Jullington Creek. Maybe next trip. We went to Doctors Lake and Whiteys Fishcamp for dinner…then anchored in Mill Cove
