Saturday - November 19

Left Fernandina Beach at 6:40 AM and heading to our kids/kiddies in Jacksonville Beach. Arrived there at 9:45. Our “welcoming” crew were waiting on the dock. Good to see them all – transferred stuff to their car and/or onto boat and Brooke and I took off in the car and the guys started cruising with St. Augustine as our destination. We stopped at Publix for a few groceries (ahhh, to be back in a Publix – my favorite grocery store).

NC bunch waiting for us at Palm Cove Marina in Jacksonville Beach 

We girls had a wonderful lunch and wine at LaPalenta eating outside in the courtyard.

This town was a'hoppin' with lots of people there in preparation for tonight's big lighting ceremony – many restaurants and shops along with the city park will turn on the Christmas lights tonight! Would love to see that! We strolled down the streets, but didn't make a dent in all there's to see in America's oldest city (1565). The guys arrived at the Comanche Marina at 1:15, traded crews and we left with Drew and Davis. Michael, Brooke and Brady are headed to Lake Worth (about 4 hours) and Philip and Annette's.

Arrived at Hammock Beach Resort/Marina in Palm Coast (WOW.....very nice) at 4:00.  We went 88 miles today.

 Boys rode bikes and then we took shuttle to the resort - walked around, had nice dinner at the Atlantic Bar and Grille (overlooking the ocean) and then Mark and boys swam.   Big day.. Nite nite!

Pat: Have fun with the two D's the next few days. Brady will miss them, but Brooke has some plans for him which will be special to them. Judy
