Day 263 – Jacksonville, FL to The Boathouse Marina, Palatka, FL - March 25, 2012

We traveled with three other Loopers today – Once Around, Brandy IV and Kismet.  This section of the St. John’s River is very wide, so it is difficult to take good pictures.  There are some homes along the river, but there are also lots of places where all you see is trees.  We arrived in Palatka in the early afternoon and with the help of the other boaters at the Boathouse Marina got everyone settled in a slip.  Tomorrow is John’s (from Brandy IV) birthday, so he and Rita treated all eight of us to a steak dinner with all the fixings which we enjoyed on the dock.   What a great way to spend the evening – great food and great friends!
