Another cloudy morning but the weather is warming up.
Part way up Blue Creek we spotted this Limpkin. We haven't seen many this year.
This is Diane’s favorite bird. It is really very pretty and hard to see because it blends in with it’s surrounding so well.
Back on the St Johns River we decided to take another side trip….St. Francis Dead River. We haven't been up here since we traveled with Larry and Diane. We had the Adventure Craft (Lingerawhile) and they were aboard their Nimble Nomad (River Nomad).
This is all that is left of the “SS Minnow” guys.
An old wooden boat was left here…and someone had spray painted “SS Minnow” on it.
Another year or two and there will be no sign it even existed.
This looks like a shell mound. River Nomad beached on one side and Lingerawhile on the other. Great place to walk the dogs. Sure miss boating with you two, Larry and Diane.
We are anchoring at Drigger Island. Anchored there with the Big Duck, Ugly Duckling and Avitoon when we were cruising together.
A Manatee swam in ahead of us. I was hoping they would come visit but they turned around and swam right past.
I think there were 3 of them. Here’s the other 2. Guess they were heading to Blue Springs and warmer water.
Much nicer tonight….even had a chance to enjoy our wine on the rear deck. Have not had to put up the screens. Too cold for the mosquitos right now.
