Caleb, the dockhand at Amelia Island Yacht Basin came by the boat about 9 am to return my cell phone to me which was much appreciated. I headed out about 9am for the short run to Jacksonville. The weather was 30% chance of showers under partly cloudy skies. It was quite a nice day to motor south as the winds were still pretty much out of the south but had calmed down to just a breeze. The waterway was smooth and I didn't see but a few boats along the way. Just before noon I apparently ran into the 30% chance and it rained for about 2 hours but just rain, no lightning so I kept going. I went through the drawbridge at Sisters creek and entered the St. John's river in Jacksonville about 2pm. The rest of the bridges are all fixed bridges until St. Augustine. I docked at the Palm Cove Marina in Jacksonville around 3 just as the next wave of rain hit, and this one had lightning in it. I was happy to be docked and not the tallest mast in the marina. The storm was short lived. I ordered Pizza Hut for dinner and enjoyed a quiet night on the boat streaming Netflix to my computer.
The new owner of Second Chance should arrive late tomorrow for his first night aboard.
