St Augustine to Jacksonville

Sunrise and the Bridge of Lions lit up as I leave St Augustine.
Castillo de San Marco from the water.
Sunrise over St Augustine Inlet as I am heading North.
The Atlantic Blvd Bridge – I had been dreading going though the waterway here as I have read of horrendous current through here. As it turns out it was pretty strong – over 2 mph, I was only going 4.4 mph though there, but not as bad as I had feared.
This is where the Intracoastal Waterway crossed the St Johns River – one of the most confusing routes I have seen. As you can see, the Garmin chart shows that I should be aground – there is so much shoaling in this area that the channel keeps moving.
The junction of the Intracoastal Waterway and the St Johns River – ship traffic as well as conflicting currents.
A better view of the St Johns River just West of its mouth.
The bridge over Sister Creek, just on the other side of the St Johns river junction. The free dock I will be tying up to is just North of it.
Docked with 4 other boats here – nice protected spot.
There is a park here with restrooms and security – the guard lives in the park.
The end of my route today – it is supposed to rain later. Tomorrow I plan to head to Cumberland Island.

Used the fuel transfer system I built for the first time today. It worked great! I transferred almost 15 gallons from the external auxiliary diesel tank to the 20 gallon main tank. The main tank is almost completely full. When I refuel at a fuel dock, some time in the next few days, I will be able to calculate my average fuel mileage.
I also used my Android Galaxy S8+ this afternoon as a mobile hotspot for the first time. I was able to transfer photos from my phone and tablet to Google Photos, then load them to my blog site, and post today’s blog. I used much less cellular data than I expected, and the speed was good. I won’t be so worried about not having wifi from now on…
