Left the dock at 900 hrs under overcast skies. Light wind SE and temps in 70's. 1030 entered the St. John's River. Speed increased from 4.5 kts to over 7 kts as the high tide crested. Enjoyed 6 plus kts till we approached the Ortega Bridge at 1415 hrs. Docked at the Ortega Yacht Club Marina at 1445 hrs. (Italics from Curt's log) Happy to see the big big boats bigger than cruise ship were stopping before they passed us coming down the river.
Looked around the area, went for a walk to Publix a couple of blocks away. Called George and Mary to see where they were at. To our surprise they were at two Marinas down about two blocks. They came over to visit for awhile. Fun to see them again. The free dock marinas didn't look very good, no showers and very populated area in the tides and currents so decided on this marina, cheap at 90 cents a foot and by the week even cheaper. Floating cement docks another plus.
