St. Augustine - Amelia Island, April 1





We left Comachee Cove Yacht Harbor, St. Augustine about 8:30 today. The first part of our trip was through barren, marshy looking areas. There was a lot of boat traffic today. We were passed by quite a few boats. We were going faster than 2 sailboats we passed!

We then were in the Tolomato River where there were newer homes and every home had a dock. Some of the homes were beautiful, some for sale and the occasional very run-down and neglected property.















All of the bridges have protective barriers around the bridge pilings, just in case. Here is a picture of what happens when a boat hits the barrier. Better that than the piling!!


Notice how long the dock is. That's how far out it has to be to have any kind of water depth.




We anchored about 3:45 by Amelia Island. We will get to Georgia tomorrow.
