Yes, we are back at our base of operations in Jacksonville. Ortega Landing Marina with all its amenities is a great place to clean, repair and resupply for our next segment of the Loop. With nearby stores of all types it is so convenient for two people with bikes. We left Palatka on Thursday and ran …
We have returned to Ortega Landing on the Ortega River in Jacksonville and we will stay here for the weekend at least. I will take a break from blogging tonight and see you later. Appreciate all of you and we are glad to have you Aboard Cbay.
Peaches and Herb said it best. We met our friends Beth, Dean and Ziggy at Georgetown Marina on Tuesday afternoon. Good to catch up and share adventures. Old Ziggy is as cute as ever making noises like a police car. Sorry we had zero connection last night and could not produce a blog so this …

Al Sharpton, Louis Farakan and us… Well who would have ever thought we would travel all day in the hot sun at great expense to attend an Al Sharpton rally but that is exactly what we did. If you have been living in a cave you might be unaware that there was a tragic event …
Let me see where last I left my dear readers. We were tied up in Palatka waiting for the police to toss us off. But they never came and so on Wednesday morning we awoke to watch our new friends Gary Lee and Captain Kiki with kittens shoving off for parts unknown. Within an …
Thank you all for being patient with me and waiting for the rest of the story of our stay in Palatka. You will have to be even more patient because we are way out in the boonies and I am not even sure I can load text. There are great pictures that I …
