corkscrew cruising: 3/28/17 thru 4/1/17

We left Ft. Pierce early on the 28th, heading up the ICW to Titusville, where we will anchor at the NASA Causeway Bridge. We've anchored here twice and it has proved to be a good anchorage. One thing that makes it a good stop is because it's right off the channel and quick to get back into the ICW when you are ready to leave. Some anchorages are far off the channel, which takes extra time The next morning we left at dawn, we have an 84 mile run today to Palm Coast Marina. We spent just one night here, but it was long enough to see that we'd like to come back. The next morning we filled our fuel tanks and headed 64 miles for the "free dock" at Jacksonville. We stayed here until 4/1 waiting for the wind to settle down enough for us to travel the 56 miles to Jekyll Island.
We have passed the island twice but never stopped, always on a mission to "get somewhere else"!! This turned out to be a great stop. Neither of us have ever been here and glad we made this a stop. There is a bike trail around the island, historical district, a new small shopping area and a new Westin Hotel. We didn't get to leave here as planned, will end up staying a week. The weather is not cooperating; IT's SPRING!!!!! Our plans are to leave here on Saturday...............
