Most of our journey was down To the St. Johns River passing Jacksonville taking us under several highway bridges with 65' clearance. Cool Hand tops out at 60' but it is always a little unnerving to go under these bridges. Our First bridge that morning was the Sisters Creek Highway bridge, a double Bascule bridge. We didn't have to wait very long and slipped on bye with out any trauma. I always find the signs on the bridges interesting, there are a few below.
We had several shy porpoise swim by, I believe they have some kind of radar and know when I have the camera out. I love watching the pelicans and Osprey are plentiful. Tom and I have watched them fish, diving in the water and in the air shake the water free from their feathers. It is also disconcerting to see the birds on sand bars a couple of yards away from us as we are going down the ICW.

| have no idea why but along one land cut there were wash tubs nailed to tree stumps. |
