21-22 February, 2020. Gale force winds



Late Thursday night in the marina--note nearly 40 mph gust
Friday was horizontal rain with extremely strong gusts and sustained 20+ winds.  Accomplished bookkeeping, tidy up inside of the boat and generally checking lines and bumpers/fenders.  Our position in the marina along with the wind direction, kept all of the flying limbs and debris away from Serenity.  Grateful for that.
Beautiful early morning
Saturday, took a long 3.5 mile walk.  Tried to get to beach which is only 1/2 mile away, but exiting the base south gate we were faced with a four lane causeway without shoulders or sidewalk.  Traffic was crazy fast so we abandoned that idea and returned back inside of the base and just walked around the marina and golf course.  The base north gate which exits to the beach highway is a 3 mile on-way walk around the runway.  Decided not.  Windy, but sunny day.  Did outside boat cleaning tasks.  Walked 1/2 mile to commissary and back with more supplies.
Ibis feeding.  They are like chickens, pretty tame once associated with  people
Will get underway tomorrow.  Headed for St. Augustine, Fl.  135 miles or so north.
