Fishing and Farewells ... Sunday 14th April 2013
After breakfast this morning we took the bikes to shore and
cycled to Fort Clinch State Park. Our
objective in the park was the fishing pier.
After so many months without cycling, it seemed a tough trip to the
park. By the time we got to the pier, my
legs were hurting. We found a good spot
on the pier and baited the hooks. Sad to
say, there wasn’t much action on the fishing front. We had spent about two hours fishing when we
realized that the cloudy sky was now looking downright ominous—dark and threatening. We packed up our gear and walked back to the
bikes in the rain. The cycle back to the
marina was just as painful. We returned
to the dinghy to collapse the bikes and grab our showering kit. As soon as we were finished showering, the
heavens opened. We arrived back on
Cotinga soaking wet—fresh clothes were required … to replace the clean clothes
we had just put on!
We spent the latter part of the afternoon getting ready for
dinner. Our friends Lynn and Lee joined
us for a farewell dinner. They will be
getting underway early in the morning headed for Jacksonville. They will leave the boat in a marina near
Jacksonville to tend to aspects of their “land life.” We had a great time
travelling with them. They encouraged us
to do so many things, more snorkeling, the big passage. We’ve enjoyed so many
meals together talking over politics and boating questions. It’s been just great. It’s hard to imagine what the next part of
the trip will be like for us. I think
it’s going to feel quite lonely.
Hopefully, they will come to visit us in Sudbury. Then we can plan our next adventures.
