17 January - Day #46. Yesterday's winds are predicted to really pickup today so we debate a bit but decide to cross Lake George. In the Chesapeake it seems that every channel marker has an osprey on it. Here it's eagles and they seem to be as prolific as in Sitka, Alaska. The winds don't pipe up until we're well clear of the lake but when they do it's with a vengeance. Constant 20kts with gusts well into the 30's make it bumpy and wet. We'd heard good things about the Outback Crab Shack (and it's 1000' long free dock) and decide to check it out for ourselves. As the picture shows their southern boil has plenty of food. At the dock in Six Mile Creek (24nm south of Jacksonville, FL). 65nm today and 1059nm total. DBH
