Jekyll Island to Vero Beach

Oct.  29-Oct. 31  Jekyll Island   Millionairre's Village where Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, JP Morgan and Pulitzer built summer homes.  There private club is now the hotel.  Biked around the island.  The ocean front grocery store and hardware store are both double wides.  
Nov. 1  Because of insurance, now can enter Florida. Stayed at Fernandina Beach. The town reminded us of Annapolis. Very quaint, great shops and restaurants. 

Nov. 2-5  St. Augustine   Oldest continuous occupied European settlement in the US.  Grabbed a mooring bouy in the harbor with 3 1/2 mph currents and gusts to 20 mph. Lost and retrieved 3 boat hooks.  Fantastic dinner with the O'Leary's at Columbia House. Great Pompano.  Pre dinner martinis and Manhatans at Tiny Martini's.  O'Leary's moved on to Ft. Myers and we stayed on 1 more nite. Still having hot beautiful weather. 

Nov. 5  Palm Coast Hammock Marina  The most beautiful marina we have ever seen.  Big winds. Cool temps. 

Nov. 6  Off to Cocoa Beach Village Marina.  Very windy. Cool temps.  Great little town. Wonder people planning their cross to Bahamas. Maybe we will join them in a few years.      

Nov. 8    Vero Beach  Beautiful run down the Indian River.  Hot weather returns.  Met friends that we had previously met a various marinas.  O'Learys arrived at Ft. Myers. 

Having difficulties with pictures.  Will try to upload them tomorrow.
