First the Ups: We woke and ate at one of my favorite restaurants on the ICW, the "Bright Morning" in Fernandina Beach. They have the best grits anywhere! We cast off the dock at 0945 and motored in high winds down the ICW to St Augustine, and arrived at 1735. We saw many White Pelicans and Egrets which are beautiful. I was hoping to get all the way to Miami without hitting bottom, but we hit at the end of Amelia Island between day marks 43 and 44. I backed off and called Tow Boat US to ask where the deepest water was. They told me to stay tight on the Red side, and we got through. We walked to a restaurant here in St Augustine to eat dinner and build up Nanc's stamina, which is improving. It is now 49 days since the last chemo. We hope to reach New Smyrna tomorrow evening.
Now the Down side: When we got back on the boat, Nanc's sister Janet called and told her her sister Jean had passed away.
