Santa came thru and gave me great Fully powered 6.5 conditions on the St. John's river in Jacksonville Florida on Christmas Day.  The winds were WNW in the upper 'teens I would guess.  I was windsurfing at a place called the county dock off Mandarin road.  This is just to the South of I-295 as the highway crosses the river and on the Eastern riverbank.  On the West side of the river is Orange park and a big mall.  On the East side is state road 13 and I-95 that lead North into downtown Jacksonville( also on the St Jonh's river).  The river is over 3 mi wide where I was sailing yet the water seemed smoother than Lanier for a similar wind.  The water is brackish at this point in and has a brown tint - it looks a little like tea - to put it nicely.  It was pretty warm out, in the 50's.  

Hope Santa delivered in Atlanta as well.  Merry Christmas.
