We spent the night in Jacksonville and are heading to St. Augustine. The winds are light so we are using the motor right now. Dolphins were everywhere and their home is the Atlantic Ocean, which we are on! Earlier, in the airplane you could see the sunrise, it looked beautiful! At seas there was a fishing boat – it attracted seaguls like crazy! Dolphins are very popular in the Atlantic. My favourite one I named Flap Jax for Jamie (Jax is short for Jacksonville).

Aujourd’hui mon famille aller a la voile. Nous allons au sud a Jacksonville de St. Augustine. Jai voir les dauphins a cote de le bateau. Le Soleil est tres bon dehours.
