Annapolis, June 2, 2008

We spent most of today preparing to leave tomorrow. We finished up some work on the boat, did some final shopping and waited for packages to be delivered. Not everything arrived and we’re hoping it will come early tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow we will take the car back, then need to be out of the marina by 11 a.m. to avoid being charged for another day. We will be busy tomorrow.

More of St. Augustine, April 1




The slide show above is what we had planned to put in the blog yesterday. Unfortunately, Beth had "operator" issues and had to get in touch with Greg to find out what she was doing wrong. Here are more pictures of our time in St. Augustine.

St. Augustine, March 31

We stayed in St. Augustine another day. The marina is a very nice one with a courtesy car available for boaters to use. We, along with Bob and Margaret went shopping and then did a little sight seeing.

We went to see the Castillo de San Marcos fort, which was for many years the northernmost outpost of Spain’s New World empire. We also drove around the town a little. This is a place we would like to spend more time in.









The picture of us coming into the marina yesterday is courtesy of Margaret. We think it’s a nice looking boat.


Margaret and Bob are coming over to dinner tonight. We hope to get an early start tomorrow.

Daytona Beach – St. Augustine, March 30

Pulled anchor at 7:25 this morning. The day was overcast and cooler. It kept looking like we would get rain, but never did.

The look of the shoreline kept changing. We went through some less inhabited parts of Florida. Some of it was reminiscent of Minnesota lakeshore, while other parts remind us of the Mississippi River area.











We were going into a headwind and the current, so we went slower today than in the past.



We arrived at Comachee Cove Yacht Harbor in St. Augustine about 3 p.m. It was nice to get in, the wind was increasing and the water was becoming more choppy, not to mention that it was getting colder. Bob and Margaret were here waiting for us. We hope to see some of St. Augustine tomorrow. St. Augustine is the oldest city in Florida.
