Florida!

We finally made it through all of the states. I don't know if we mentioned it, but we've kept a collection of "state quarters" on the boat, tossing each state's quarter into the water as we entered that state. Today's quarter, Florida, was the last one :-)

It was cold this morning, and Wickie finally discovered Mr. Coleman, the Heater. Don't know quite why it took him so long, but he sure enjoyed it this morning.

We had a beautiful forecast, calm water and wind, sun, and good temperatures, so we decided to "do the Ditch" and make progress down the ICW today. 35 miles later, we are anchored in Florida, at the 3 Islands creek, near Atlantic Beach, about 30 miles from St. Augustine. We are anchored with several other transit boats.

This is big shrimping country, and we we saw a lot of small marinas with shrimp boats.

Wick liked the warm air and sun, too, taking time to sniff the breeze and take a stroll around the boat after we anchored.

Weather permitting , we plan to make another run on the ICW to St. Augustine and spend a couple of days there sighseeing.
