Still Stuck in Jacksonville

Well the Main Street Bridge here in downtown Jacksonville is still stuck in the down position so we made the most of the beautiful day and caught a train and then a bus out the to St John's mall, 9 miles east of downtown. There we found an REI where we picked up a nice warm sleeping bag and a pump to pump up all my Taylor made fenders that had deflated in the 6 months since I bought them.

Tonight, the bridge tender told us that they were going to open the bridge briefly and to line up in front of it. Needless to say, an hour and a half later, the bridge did not open and we returned to the dock. Hopefully we can get out of here tomorrow morning. There are worse places we could be stuck!
