On to St. Augustine

11/23 - We had a short 2-hour run to St. Augustine. The weather was perfect – sunny without a cloud in the sky and in the high 70’s. We saw many dolphin today and several played at the bow and in our wake for 15 or 20 minutes. Linda tried to get the perfect picture – but without much luck. We pulled into the mooring field at St. Augustine Municipal Marina just before noon. The mooring field is something new at the marina, installed since we were last here in March.

We spent the day wandering the streets of old town St. Augustine, stopping in many of the shops to browse and having both lunch and dinner before returning to the boat. A very enjoyable day.
