Having fun in St. Augustine, Florida


We've been in St. Augustine, Florida for almost a week and we really don't have much motivation to move on. We REALLY like this place. We're anchored off the old city and dinghy in each day to a really nice marina that is located within walking distance to everything we need. Hayley and Jack met a really nice friend named Rachel. She is pictured with them above with her boat and her dog Whitefoot in the background. Interestingly, Rachel's grandfather is a Kings Point Alumnus. Small world. We'll be in St. Augustine at least through the end of this week. We're exploring locations to haul the boat out before too long as Maersk has given me the notice that I'll be headed back to work around October 23rd. The plan, always subject to change, is to haul out in N. Florida somewhere and launch it again when I'm back from this next voyage.
So far in St. Augustine, the family has spent most of its time touring Spanish Colonial history sites. They're all very interesting. There is even a real working pub in the location of the actual colonial pub and many of the patrons wear period costumes while drinking their grog. We went to the pub on Saturday night for a concert/singalong of old sea chantys performed by a local singing group, the Bilge Rats. It was unique entertainment.
