Day 18 & 19
Tues. Jan 19, & Wed. Jan 20, 2016
Fernandino Beach to Jacksonville
(Beach Marina)
Jacksonville to St Augustine
(St. Augustine Municipal Marina)
Tuesday, We all took a dockage at Jacksonsonville Beach. It was predicted to be a cold night and we needed good heat. We had a nice day weather wise, sunny and comfy in the sunroom but had some skinny water. Bumped several times. Always a scary thing. Journey even bumped leaving the marina. We spent 2/3 of our time at low tide.
We ate at the marina bar and played games a little and turned on the heat and went to bed. About 12 the power went off and so did the heat of course. Lee set up the little propane heater and we used it the rest of the night. Wed morning we found out the whole marina had lost power and after reading reviews we found out this has happened before this winter as well as lousy internet wifi. The gfi outlet kept blowing as soon as you put power on the port side of the boat. We took it apart and it did not look burned or have any lose wires. Lee called Richard Truett and we let him listen to the weird clicks it made after it blew. It almost sounded like crackling He didn't know either. We asked for the marinas service person to look and explained it needed to be fixed promptly if we were to meet our time schedule. When they finally came after over an hour waiting they said it was probably a faulty GFI outlet but they did not have any. We left without it fixed.
Wed we had another nice sunny day and actually got hot a little in the sunroom. We took a mooring ball at Bridge of Lions in St Augustine around 4. Is should be moderately cold tonight, 40s but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and high 60s and tomorrow night mild . We are hoping to do some sightseeing ashore get some groceries and stay here Thur. night. Predictions for Fri is rain and wind so we may just hole up here again instead of traveling in the rain. Time will tell.
