(Mayport Naval Station, Jacksonville, FL) Hi 70 Lo 48 -- We went over to the clubhouse this morning for a pancake breakfast and met a couple that have been RV'ers (but not full time) since 1972. They’ve even toured England in a rental RV. It was a very interesting conversation. It’s great being on this base, we meet people that have plenty in common both from the RV and military lifestyles.
Our good friends Ken and Cindy drove over from Pecan Park RV Resort, about 25 miles north of us. We met them outside the base at Safe Harbor Seafood Market and Restaurant where we had an excellent seafood lunch. (Click on photos to enlarge them.)
After lunch we brought them on base and showed them around our RV park. We eventually ended up down at the beach and walked around for awhile.
Ken and Cindy
Ken is testing the water. He says it’s on the cool side.
Cindy resting on the rocks.
There’s always someone fishing off the jetty.
The jetty goes out quite a ways.
This is the first time we’ve seen these long slender shells on the beach. Anyone know what kind of shellfish these are? They look and feel like long fingernails.
Hmm, wonder what this could be?
It was getting late and chilly, so Cindy and Ken headed home before it got dark. After they left we saw a Carnival cruise ship coming down the river, shining in the setting sun.
Not much of a sunset tonight due to the lack of clouds. Just this beautiful glow.
A great day in paradise. Tomorrow we'll visit Ken and Cindy on their turf at Pecan Park. It's Ken's birthday tomorrow and we'll help him celebrate it.
