File under small world...when we visited Cape Canaveral they pointed out a barge carrying the spent fuel tanks that were returning aboard a special vehicle called Pegasus...and we spotted that vehicle in Jacksonville two weeks later...looks like it is getting a paint job. We couldn't help but wonder if it would carry the tanks of the rocket we watched..????

That beautiful looking water...up close it really is more like strong tea..I've been most disappointed in the continuing fact that the water we are on is not suitable for swimming...all those suits just sit in the drawer...and my tan looks more like a golfer type than a boating type...we gotta fix that.

Guys on the bridge here were working...what a site to behold. I'm just glad I was the one looking up...

Unlike the busy port of Mobile, practically all the loading docks here stood empty. We couldn't decide if it was a sign of the bad economy or the fact that it was a Saturday. Folks maybe didn't want to pay weekend overtime...we won't know the answer to that question until we return in May and make the trip out...

The first things we saw rounding the bend on the St John's River heding into Jacksonville was the stadium ...yep, "Home of the Jaguars"...so for all our sports nuts...it was impressive...

Bridge of Lions was a mess from land and water. We were pretty worried about all that until we realized that we were short enough to go under without requesting and / or waiting for an opening. Lots of sail boats and bigger yachts were playing the waiting game...we scooted through about 8:20 Saturday morning on our way to Jacksonville...

One thing we noticed about St Augustine was the lack of sky scrapers and high rise condos that you see in other Florida towns. Evidently there is a city ordinance preventing anything higher than three stories...which is why this brand new waterfront Hilton Hotel looks like a series of nice homes...we even heard there was a three story parking garage below.
