Had filed IFR for flight between Lake City and Fernandina due to bad weather with thunderstorms along the way. Turns out I ended up in a valley of VFR where it was quite smooth. Had a really nice surprise when I heard a friend who is a controller with Jax Center on the air who then gave me my clearance. Upon arrival at destination found myself a bit fast and a touch high turning base to final so decided to use a slip to lose altitude rather than speed brakes.
Fun flight!
