In The Ditch

The IntraCoastal Waterway runs from Brownsville Texas to Norfolk Virginia (Mile zero) via Southern Florida, known affectionately as “the Ditch” it is a mostly sheltered interconnected system of canals and waterways used primarily for recreational travel.
We joined the ditch at mile 803 in Palm Coast Florida heading North.


In this area it is somewhat of a ditch, running between canalfront homes some distance from the ocean.

A days run, about 60 miles brought us to Saint Augustine, the oldest city in the USA and a fine view seen from the water.

We are making a Sunday stay a few miles North of the “Bridge of Lions” in Jacksonville Beach (mile 745).

Voyage resumes Monday.
