If you look closely you can see a snowy egret - I will try to get some more photos this week - maybe we can even get a photo of the manatee that is living in the river here! 
Well we are still here in Jacksonville Florida. We have survived the record breaking cold snap ! We have Rosie ready to go - all the teak refinished and the hull polished, the electronics calibrated etc, etc,,,We are just waiting for parts for the generator and we will be on our way.Here is the lat/ long "Rosie !" lat=30.2756683277, lon=-81.7152839994 from google earth to show where the marina is. If you zoom in you can see the waterway and our route to New Symrna Beach.
We have enjoyed our visit to Jacksonville, Marnie and John have been great hosts and tour guides. We have visited Rick and MaryJane in New Symrna Beach, met some new friends and found some old ones . We walked into a West Marine Store and met Gene White who we knew in North Carolina and we haven't seen in 20 years ! We had a great visit and met his wife Toni - I know that we will keep in touch this time ! We hope to have the generator repaired this week and will head down the waterway.
