April 27- We left Hammond Beach Resort at 9:00 am along with Mist on our way to Jacksonville. It is another very warm day, with little or no wind at present. We traveled through an area I called millionaires row because as we headed down the river for 6 miles it was lined with very large homes and in front of each was a dock with a roof over each dock. It was a slow ride through there but once through the current helped us pick up speed. The tides are starting to get bigger now and will increase again once we are in Georgia. We arrived at Palm Cove Marina in Jacksonville at 3:00 pm. We quickly washed down Manana and the dingy and went for a quick swim in their pool here to cool down. We went to a restaurant next to the marina for dinner and I would say the food was so-so. We needed some groceries so after dinner Dave, Bill and myself walked to the Publix about 3 blocks away. It has been a long hot day so we called it a night.
