Cocoa Village Marina
I can't believe that is has been over a month and two major holidays since I last posted to this blog. Getting lazy... or really it is the WI-fi connections that are such a bother.
We spent Christmas and New Years at Brunswick Landing Marina. I can't sing praises loud enough for the facility and staff. We had great dinners, everyone bringing in side dishes and desserts to add on to turkey and ham. The weather was terrific but blustery days were on there way and we need to move south.
We picked an almost perfect weather window and went out in the Atlantic... motored to the St Johns River and up 23 miles to Mulberry Cove Marina on the Navel Air Station. This is a hidden gem of a facility at only 9$ ... yes 9$ per day. It was great having a commissary and NEX to shop in. We also spent time with Bridget and Martin Green, finished all the paper work to get Florida drivers license and plates, then off again.
We stayed in the ICW,a three day trip to Cocoa Village. We had a WOW moment witnessing the birth of a dolphin. There were eagles, osprey, white pelicans as well as frolicking dolphins to keep me busy.
While in Brunswick, we spent a day touring Jekyll Island. There they have the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.

| Tom and I were trying to find the name of this Air Craft Carrier |
 |
| We were bouncing on the incoming waves but I finally got a steady shot I don't think the name of the carrier is Beware of Jet Blast and Rotors. Anyone have a clue |
