Anchorage Birthday Creek, unnamed on charts

31 47.599N
81 09.906W



Saying good morning at Birthday Creek

Ed and I decided that this wasn't for us--too much togetherness!


Looks like Project O from Avery Point.  The boat was loaded with students and they were dragging a net to get some specimens


You can take a cruise on these waters and leave the driving to someone else

Birds follow Shore Thing trying to get an easy meal

Anchorage Amelia River, FL


30 38.342N
81 29.837W


A nicer view on the other side of the boat!

View of the paper mill from our anchorage.  Problem is the books don't tell you that the smell of the paper mill is always in the air!

Railroad bridge always open unless a train is coming.  I really don't think trains travel on these rails often since weeds are growing on the track

More White Pelicans flying north or are they the same ones from yesterday?  The scenery started changing today--low grasses, we are getting into the low country of northern Florida and Georgia.

Anchorage New Smyrna Beach

"Home Sweet Home", not much freeboard left.  Florida towns have to deal with all these abandoned boats


They kept lighting fires further and further south on the barrier island

Controlled burn

Everyone was looking at the boats going by so we decided to take a picture of them on the Haul Over Canal
