Palatka (again)

We stayed at the FREE Palatka City Dock again last night. Hard to beat the free water and electricity. And this morning, I called the Parks Dept and they sent over a guy to pump us out. FREE ! They have everything except showers. So we set up our own shower stall on the back of Tonic.

I spoke to a guy walking his dog on the dock. We chatted for a while and then before we left, he came back and gave us a bag full of grapefruit from his tree.

We've encountered 2 railroad bridges. They're up unless there's a train coming. (or as was the case in Jacksonville, the attendent is out to lunch. We saw him walking back down the tracks with his lunch bag.)

Saw some more gators today on our way to Walaka. As you might guess, I found the FREE Wataka city dock to spend tonight. No electric or water but a nice dock. We walked into town to see the Maritime Museum. Next post.
