Getting out of the anchorage wasn’t easy. We got underway at 0800 and eased out with the depth meter showing 4.9’ until we reached the channel. Whew!
Today’s destination, St Augustine, wasn’t far. We had planned to stop here and visit with Linda W., one of Donna’s old high school chums. Except for the chilly breeze, the temperature was almost nice and the best we had experienced so far this trip.
We arrived at the Bridge of Lions and had to wait about 10 minutes for the opening. Once we were through the bridge, it was a quick right into the municipal marina. A quick cleanup of the boat, a pump out, showers and we were ready for Linda‘s arrival. When she arrived, we had a glass of wine, talked for about an hour, and then walked into town and had a late lunch at Harry's. A short walk after lunch and Linda had to leave. Donna and I then walked some of the Historic (tourist) district.
Back on the boat, a check of the weather forecast confirmed plans for tomorrow. Continue south to find the warm weather.
