Oh, the Places we will go.....
On March 8, 2024, we started the Intracoastal Waterways (ICW). This has been a lifelong dream of Don's since he was raised in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay; I, on the other hand, being from Oregon, didn't know what it was???? If you want to know more, check out the AGLCA | Great Loop Route.
Anyhow, we departed Lamb's Yacht Center in Jacksonville Florida at 9:30 a.m. with my sister Pat and husband, John as our crew! Lamb's Yacht Center is a great full-service marina run my Peggy Sue and her staff.
At 5:00 pm we docked at Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island; not without "kissing the bottom" of the ICW because the tide was so low.
Loved Fernandina Beach, especially a great restaurant, "The Patio", where we sat at the bar, ate a delicious meal and talked to all the locals and 2 great bartenders.
On March 9th, we went to the beach and then to Fort Clinch, a great historical site on the island. NOTE: Lyft rides are few and far between - so we had fun riding in back of a pickup truck until we could get a driver to pick us up. Imagine 4 "Senior Citizens" in the back of a truck....
I'm sure you're wondering why it's taken us so long to post; besides having too much fun, I was a bit dubious about setting up a blog. Now that it's started, look forward to seeing more adventures. I've got a month of sightseeing and adventures to catch you up on.
Safe travels wherever you are!
