Green Cove Springs — Saratoga of the South

Yep. Looks like Congress Park. Little Gazebos. Trees. Grass. Very cute.

Here’s our official home address: 411 Walnut Street. It has a cute “Main Street USA” look. Sort of gentrified. We joke that we're on the 9th floor. Odd side of the hall looks out over the river. Really nice.

Here’s the facility that actually handles our mail. They’re out in the burbs. Lovely folks. Very helpful. But a long walk.

Glad we took the walk, though. Not only did we get the last of our Christmas cards, I got my new passport and some money from Nauti-Nell’s consignment store. 

We’re going to meet up with Dream Catcher for dinner somewhere locally. They’re finishing up some rework and are hoping to splash Monday. We’ll find out more tonight.

Then we’re expecting to freeze as it drops to -2° C. Tomorrow we may call the Main Street bridge in Jacksonville to schedule an opening and work our way up the St. John’s to Marsh Island. From there we should be able to make it to St. Augustine and pick up a mooring for a while.

We need to dismantle the Simpson-Lawrence Windlass and see what’s going on inside of it. It’s not happy. It feels “wrong”. It’s been wrong since the cold snap in Wrightsville beach, maybe even earlier.
