Day 260 – St. Augustine to Palm Cove Marina, Jacksonville Beach, FL - March 22, 2012

Our ride today was an easy 25 miles up the coast to Jacksonville Beach where we stopped at Palm Cove Marina.  It was a great ride through some very different terrains.  We started the trip in what looked like a strip of water through a wheat field (we’re not sure what the grasses were) and ended the trip through a section with woods on one side and homes on the other.

We are experiencing tides of around five feet along this section of the Intercoastal, so we were slightly concerned when we realized that the depth in our slip was just under five feet and we thought we were at high tide.  Fortunately the tide was already on its way down and we ended up having plenty of water in the slip.

             Miles: 24.9      Bridges: 3        Locks: 0
