Wednesday, March 15

It is COLD!   Just walking to the marina office to mail some letters I nearly froze.  And there are whitecaps in the river.  I'm ready to head back south.

Luke wanted to go to a good seafood restaurant, so we headed for St. Augustine Beach and Salt Life Restaurant.  We were not impressed.  Pricey and mediocre food. BUT - drum roll, please - Hudson tried calamari and liked it!!!

Back at the boat, the marina is hosting a wahoo fishing tournament this week-end, so we have to move to another marina to make room for all the fishing boats.  Hudson helped DanDan get everything ready to pull out.

We cruised toward the cut so the kids could see the Atlantic Ocean, then up the Intracoastal Waterway to the marina and repair facility where we will be later this week.  The waves and narrow spaces in the marina bothered Jeannie, but she was a good sport.

This is St Augustine Marina, our home for the next few days.  And it is on the town side of the bridge so our bike rides will be shorter and less hilly.

The kids enjoyed watching the draw bridge open while we gassed up.

Hudson loved being commander on the front of the boat.

It was cold, but we decided we could brave the putt putt course at the end of our dock.  I'm not sure who won, but we had a great time.  And we had several hole-in-ones!

We had not seen the place where Jeannie, Luke, and the kids are staying, so we all piled into the car, picked up shrimp at Publix and went to their unit for dinner.  It was nice but not very spacious.  But it did have a heated pool, which was the most important thing!
