Friday Feb 22
As planned we departed Jacksonville Beach and headed south. Our next stop, Hammond Beach Resort. Today we were underway seven hours and covered 49 miles. Everything went smoothly and Alex, Matt and Ray now have jobs to do when docking. Each day they get better and each day docking gets smoother.
We had more traffic on the ICW. Mostly fishermen but also more vessels traveling the waterway. There are more houses and people the farther south we go. Here are my picks of the unique & interesting

| Most unique dock/house? |
 |
| A bit of southern pride |

| Find the fish . . . |
Along the way we passed St. Augustine, FL. It was founded in 1565 as a Spanish military outpost. It is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States.

Today it was nice enough to get some sun, clean the decks, and explore the resort before hitting the rack
