Palm Coast to Huckins Yachts boatyard

The Marina at Hammock Beach was a great place to hold the 2014 Camano Rendezvous.  The weather turned out great and we met Camano owners from Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia. With the rendezvous in the rear view mirror, it was time to set sail for home....Jacksonville. The weather in late May has been in a pattern of strong afternoon thunderstorms, so we got a early start on Friday, May 30 and quickly got to St. Augustine, so we decided to make a run for Jacksonville Beach.  We watched the thunderstorms begin to form inland and just made it to Palm Cove Marina in Jacksonville Beach before the storms broke loose.  Next morning, sunny skies again as we made our way to the St. Johns River and headed west to Jacksonville.  We made it to Huckins around 11:30 just before the storms started again.  TIKA was pulled from the water on Monday and will be out for a few months as we have the bottom of the boat refinished.  We have the summer to dream about our next cruising adventure. This year was definitely a great experience.
