Tug Calypso's Great Loop Adventure: Thanks for the boost!

Wow, what a day! In all our trips on the ICW we have never had the current with us as much as today. I am still perplexed as to how the current could be boosting us both before and after an inlet, but I am definitely not complaining. We left Daytona Beach at 0'dark thirty this AM and planned to make St. Augustine. Well, we blew through there around lunch time and made it to Jax Beach. This will be our 7th night onboard and so far things couldn't have gone better. Of course, that is about to change as we are approaching the notoriously shallow GA ICW. There are 3 big trouble spots there that require passage at mid-tide rising and of course, the tides for the next several days are the exact opposite of what we need. If the weather cooperates, we may be able to go outside for a portion of the GA coast. On the positive side, we will be seeing Mark's sister, who lives on St. Simons Island.
