Hike at Fort Caroline February 20 2022

This is the hike Willy and Dave did several years ago. A point of interest is that much of it was built by Timucuan native-Americans from oyster mounds. These were built long before European conquests of the 16th century. Today the hike was undertaken by Roxane, Katy and myself.

Here are some maps:

Notice that part of the hike is nearly 6 feet below sea level.

Hike at Jacksonville Arboretum Jan 22, 2022

We find the Arboretum to be fascinating place for several reasons.

  1. The history of its reclamation from land tortured by mining,
  2. Its collections of specimen both native and imported, and
  3. the natural walking environment created.

Here is a gallery of the photos from the trip

New Build Photos from February 23, 2022

These photos were taken by Ian, the project manager, in response to my interest in the wiring spaces. There are a few more I would like to see in the mechanical space under the galley floor and salon. That area is home to the Onan 17 kw Generator and the Seakeeper 6 Gyro-stabilization gear.

I am happy to see the wiring spaces for the helm instruments and the CZone Control and Monitoring system are well organized and offer plenty of room to work .
