Here we are in St. Augustine, on a beautiful, sunny, warm afternoon, soaking all the warmth up we can! We had hoped to get a bit farther north, but the Bridge of Lions is being worked on, so it will only open between 6 am and 8am, and between 6pm and 8pm. I don't know who dreamed up those times, but it's dark until 7am, and gets dark at 6:30 pm, so it wasn't a boater. So we're stuck here, until tomorrow or the next day. It's supposed to be warm tomorrow, still, but rainy. Then comes another cold front, with highs in the 50's, lows even down into the 20's. Wonderful boating weather! but we can't complain, because we've only had one other cold front since we got here, when the temperatures were less than 65.
And there are only a few more days. The man who would take down the mast and haul the boat out is going to be gone until Sunday, so we'll do that next week Monday, and Tuesday put the boat on the truck. So we should only have to stand the cold down here a few days...
Of course, then we have to stand it up north, but hopefully, not for too long.
We had a nice sail today, and the current was with us the whole day! That never happens. We were going 7 to 8 knots over ground! Beautiful weather and scenery as well.
Saw dolphins, lots of birds, including a bald eagle.
and we're eating all the canned food now, so we don't have to worry it will freeze on the boat. Of course, if it was tasty canned food, we would have eaten it by now. Luckily, there isn't much left...
that's all for today. Barry and Kay
