We got into a marina in St Augustine yesterday and are planning on leaving on Friday maybe sooner. We are hiding from a huge storm and safe anchorages are iffy in this part of Florida so decided to marina it. We are doing all the St Augustine tourist stuff (distillery, historic restaurants, cool shops, and a homemade chocolate place) and of course a walk to Home Depot, West Marine and Target for pieces and parts. So far so good and the trip is shaping up way better than it started out. We have been traveling at idle speed (5-7 mph depending on current). We are even being passed regularly by sailboats that are not even under sail

Docking, even in winds, has gone well. Our next stop will be somewhere in the St John’s river. Will keep you updated on progress. Love to all. Gina and Mike.
