HEADING TO FLORIDA WINTER 2016

We pulled out of our slip in Hilton Head on Wednesday, Dec.30. We had an hour and a half delay due to fog, but it worked out ok. We arrived Kilkenny,GA around 4:30 ,thankfully before dark. While there, I decided to do a load of wash onboard. Bad news is that we forgot to turn on the grey water pump and all the water from a couple previous showers and the laundry came up through the shower drain. Our bathroom, and both staterooms were flooded.It made us sick as we had just had all the carpet replaced and our boat was looking pristine. We sopped up what we could with the wet vac and turned on the heaters full blast. Eventually, we had to pull up our newly laid carpet for it to dry. Four days later, it is finally dry and relaid.

Our goal was to arrive Jekyll Island the next day, New Year's Eve. We made it there for a wonderful evening at the grand old hotel enjoying their pub, and the friendly people we met there. The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas.

Friday, we cruised to Jacksonville Beach and Saturday made it to St. Augustine. We are spending 2 nights here. Love this town. It is fun finding new restaurants and just walking around. Currently, it is pouring down rain, so we'll get some inside stuff done.
