We have spent the last day in Palatka Florida. Yesterday morning and this morning the temps were colder here than in Ely. Pretty strange. Took a hike yesterday and there was ice on a puddle. Guys this is central Florida. It creats a little bit of an issue keeping the boat warm. The water temp is 46-48 degrees, which means the engine room is cold sitting in this water bath. That in turn makes the floor of the cabin cold. We run the generator to heat things up in the entire boat, but by morning things cool off and it takes a while to get back up to a decent comfortable level. Maybe we need to look at installing a fireplace. I know I missed my sauna this week. Today is supposed to warm up into the 60's and mid 70 by Monday. Today, we are going to take a hike this morning, get a few groceries and get some exercise, then pull out and head down the river closer to Jacksonville. There is a creek I want to anchor in about 35 miles down river that is supposed to be pretty and private.

Ice on a puddle yesterday morning

Guano covering the dock we are at. Terns and gulls everywhere.

Sunset at our "busy" dock. Nobody here.

Sunrise this morning
