struting turkey and his harem




Just a few corections from todays blog, first of all We went to Black Creek before Green Cove Springs and for all of you that wants to know how much the diesel fuel was at Pier 44 in Astor it was $5.00 a gal with the tax.
Here it is almost the end of March and we are back at the marina after a great boat trip up to Cumberland Island and down the St. Johns river as far as Hontoon Idsland and back to welaka.
We left and met up with Jim and Carol Warren on Slow Motion and traveled up to Fernandina Beach with them where they had engine trouble and haqd to get their trailer and bring her back home. We left and went to Cumberland Island as you will see by the pictures and then we met up with"Ms. Bettencourt" John Stokes and Major Sims . Winds were ahowling so we opted to go right along up the St.Johns to Green Cove Springs. Saw Gordon Tapsell another owner of an A25 "Tortuga" We left there and went to Black Creek for the night. Lovely and wild place.

Boat trip 2009

Hi all, Its been a long time since I was on line in order to post this I hope it works. Its been a lovely trip so far from Welaka to Silver Glen Springs to Green Cove on the St. Johns to Jax. to Amelia Island to Tiger Point in Fernandina to Cumberland Island to St. Marys Ga. to meet up with another Albin 25 Ms. Bettencourt. We lost our Albin 27,Slow Motion with Carol and Jim Warren due to engine trouble. They trailered it back home. As I write this the sand fleas are eating me alive.. I'm waiting on the laundry and am outside a coffee cafe with my laptop. Hope to post some pictures to add to this. Carole and Ed on "Southern Cross"
