St. Augustine to Ortega River April 10

Our next trip, the city dock in St. Augustine, was an easy pleasant ride on the ICW. Stayed only one night as we were already behind due to weather.While traveling, David noticed throttles were not holding RPM. He could still operate the boat, but at slower pace.We went off the ICW and up the St. John's River, 26 miles. WE had great views of Jacksonville and its vibrant downtown. Our destination was a great marina, Pier 32 on the Ortega River, which had new facilities, pool, hot tub, and walking distance to Publix. The area also had great food in walking distance, such as Chick fil-a, Panera and local restaurants. Our absolute favorite was Mesa, a local Indian place with very friendly. Jacksonville was one of the most friendly towns... we even met a couple at Mesa who invited us to dinner and drinks at their home and yacht club. David spent more time at Pier 32 as I left for a planned girls trip. he worked with the Catapiller mechanics for several days on his throttle issue. It basically was the sonar interference.
