The Next 45 Miles
On Day14, Friday, SandyBottom wants to launch her boat from CP5 at 4 AM. She is hoping to take advantage of those helpful southeast tailwinds before they are replaced by less favorable winds.
She is looking toward CP6 at Fort Clinch 200 miles to the north on the mouth of the St Marys River. Some, already making their ways up the St Marys, have reported that the wildflowers there are blooming now.
Traveling 45 miles per day, more or less, depending on conditions, it will probably take 4 or 5 days to reach CP6. Traveling roughly parallel to I-95, the route on the Intracoastal Waterway twists and turns past St Augustine, Cape Canaveral and Jacksonville.
The good southeast winds of yesterday are forecast to shift this morning, becoming westerly with the approach of a cold front.
