Hard to believe that we have been here in this marina a week. Tomorrow we move down the river to a mooring at the St Augustine Municipal Marina for the next week. Now there is less than one night left in this marina. There will be new challenges but hey, there's no snow and I'm sitting here in the cockpit in my bathing suit typing away by some tiki lights strung up in the bimini.
This is a view of the dock at the marina looking down the canyon of the triple decked professional fishing boats. We were the only sailboat on the dock an definitely the cheapest house on the block. Most of these tuna/marlin sport fishing boats run in the multimillions of dollars and several have their own fulltime crew. But, hey so do we!
Over the course of the week we did get a fair amount of work done.Of course I've added to my "to do" list that I will work on as time permits. Each stop I will work off the list and add new things to it.
The facilities at the marina were very good and they provided a loaner car that we used on occasion to get out to take care of business.
But time to move on.
Looking at the marina in the daylight it is very simple to come in. But, when we came in at night after 57 hours offshore and a 4 kt cross current at low tide it was anything but straight forward. In spite of that we made it into the right slip and backed in and had a good nights sleep.
