ST. AUGUSTINE to JACKSONVILLE, FL  68 M, 10.5 MPH,                                6:25 min biking time   9:00 AM to 7:30 PM  A  VERY LONG DAY

RAIN in morning-eat breakfast. 64 degrees-Late start-stop at same St Augustine sign for 3rd & last time.    CASTILLO DE SAN MARCOS National Monument-FREE. Visited Ft. in 2002 w/my sister Martha, Jim & Armand-hasn’t changed! Extremely difficult day. Wind is 25-30 mph going along coast-can only go 7-10 mph. Want to call Pat to come get us. Reminds me of when we did Bike Tour CO & had to call Anne (another cross country biker) who drove 100 m to rescue us-had 30+mph. Go through park-only shade today-30 m,stop @ same store as last yr. 40 m-Mayport Ferry-free-give everyone key rings-music. Take picture-happen to be in same clothes. Now have 2 choices-right like last yr into more WIND or left. I choose left-construction-really tired-stop at bait store-tell us Holiday Inn 2 m-can make it. HI looks expensive-will pay $200. FULL-will call shuttle to take us to airport-$30+20 for bikes. Hungry-Wendys next door-eat chicken sandwich-12 more miles-ok. Don’t know how Armand does it-no food & never complains. 7:30 PM arrive at Quality Inn-$71-love our room. Complained a lot to myself today-am very grateful to GOD-know how fortunate we are to be able to do this. Tomorrow is another that we are further away from our car.
