| Ready to leave Ortega Landing |
After months of preparation, Gary and I left Ortega Landing Marina for our Little Loop Trip a little after 8:00 a.m. We approached the usually half open Ortega Bridge (They've been repairing it for over a year.) and both sides were down. We thought our trip was going to end before it got started, but thankfully it only took a few minutes for a crane to open one side for us to squeeze through.

Coming out the St. Johns River, we thought the current was going to be against us as it usually is, but we had a very favorable current that swept us along during all of our trip. Our boat that usually averages 5.5 mph was consistently moving at 8.2-8.4 and even made it up to 9.4 mph.
We anchored in Alligator Creek south of Fernandina Beach at 2:00 p.m.. Read, relaxed and ate supper.
