Arrival at Jacksonville
I had fully intended to anchor somewhere short of Jacksonville last night, get up early this morning and be here at this same anchorage in time for the Zoom meeting I have with the probate judge for Colleen’s estate. Well, that plan fell apart quickly when the anchorage that I had chosen was way too shallow for comfort. Depths were around 3-4 feet and Schuyler draws 2.5 feet - not a good situation at all! I called an audible and just came to the anchorage in Jacksonville. It turned out to be a good decision because there is not a lot a boat traffic here and also because it offered pretty good protection from the fresh breeze that was blowing from the NNE yesterday.
More real estate that I will never own (and that’s OK). But it’s fun to look at!
