NOV 7-11 Brunswick, GA to Palm Coast, FL

Just a quick update to Frank's Big Adventure part 1.  Marilou and I traveled down to Brunswick, GA on November 3rd to move the boat down to Palm Coast, FL - the last leg and final entry for Frank's Big Adventure, part 1.  During our 5 day trip we stopped at Fernandina, FL, Jacksonville, FL, St. Augustine for two days (during the annual pirate festival weekend no less) and finally Hammock Bay, the marina in Palm coast where the boat will remain until January.  I chose that marina because our good friends Val and Lisa (who are retired and living aboard) have their boat there - in the slip next to mine actually.
Part 2 of the big adventure will begin in early January, when I travel down to Ft Lauderdale, then wait for a weather window to cross over to the Bahamas around mid-January.

The crew leads such a hard life!

This was actually very good!

I certainly don't need it, but what the hell...

Another hard day for the crew
