Mile Marker 1014 to 430 - March 20 - April 5

Click for photos

Only 1014 statue miles to go from the north end of Lake Worth in West Palm, FL to Norfolk, VA. Going south last fall, a lot of time was spent in the Chesapeake and less in the ICW (NC, SC & GA) so the plan is to reverse this going north. Moving the way we are, it is difficult to keep up so here's a log to help jog my memory with one comment for each stop to keep it short.

3/16  MM 1014  Old Port Marina, Palm Beach, FL — Windemere stayed behind waiting for crew.

3/18  MM 966  Ft. Pierce City Marina, Ft. Pierce, FL — Connected with Dave & Dianne on Argonaut.

3/20  MM 915  Eau Gallie Marina, Eau Gallie, FL — Best Wednesday night potluck dinner & artist community.

3/22  MM 878  Westland Marina, Titusville, FL — Rented car for birding at Merritt Is and Windemere caught up for a night & left to sprint home.

3/24  MM 796  Marineland Marina, Marineland, FL — Sunsets, dog friendly beach and river to sea hiking trails.

3/26  MM 778  River’s Edge Marina, St. Augustine, FL — Refuge from a storm.

3/28  MM 703  Cumberland Island, Brickhill Creek at Plum Orchard, GA — Beach hike oceanside, horses and serenity.

3/30  MM 653  Darien docks behind Skipper’s Fish Camp, Darien, GA — Quite a journey upriver but nice dinner out.

3/31  MM 600  Delegal Creek Marina, Skidaway Island, GA — Gated community w/good facilities (but no lounge for Harry) and a funky loaner golf cart for errands.

4/02  MM 535  Beaufort City Docks, Beaufort, SC — Walkabout town and drinks w/Bill, Anne, Barbara & Dave

4/04  MM 462  Toler’s Cove Marina, Mt. Pleasant, SC — Bare bones, no showers, one pink portapotty in a modest gated community but a good one nighter stop.

4/05  MM 430  Leland Oil Company, McClennanville, SC — One of our favorite towns but the bugs were too vicious this time.

And Windemere has made it home safe and sound!
