Day 10: It was raining when I awoke, and I had to delay my departure by two hours. I set off under grey skies to the Mayport Ferry, and crossed the St John's River by boat. From there it was a 20 mile ride against a cold north wind to Amelia Island, where Tom and Kate live. I checked into their empty house - they arrive tomorrow. I've now travelled 615 miles and there is still a further 5 to go to the Florida state line. I'll do that tomorrow with Tom. I'm preparing canned chicken noodle soup for dinner!

Only 20 miles? Did you play golf the rest of the day?

You know . . . I've been thinking about this whole trip of yours. Did you ever consider driving? It sure would have been a lot faster. It would have kept you out of the rain. And not many car drivers need a special butter.

Have fun tomorrow.

Hi Andrew...now this is Jill as "the Shark"...we all enjoyed reading your blog! What an amazing journey! We are all so proud of you! It took us a bit to figure out this blog thing and so Caroline and Sam want to write tomorrow. Good luck with your final miles and have a safe journey home!

Andrew, canned chicken noodle soup!! You should have waited until the turkey soup was ready before taking off.

The house is VERY quite now that all of you have left....

Richard and I enjoyed being with you and look forward to possibly seeing you and Patty when "Baby Dyson" gets here.
Safe trip home.... Marilyn
