Its cold here today. Everyone has on the winter gear. Its normally 68 degrees here this time of year, but there is a cold front that is breaking all weather records. We woke up to 33 degrees and its now 50 degrees with a wind blowing. It seems all of Florida is in the cold so it doesn't make much sense to move south yet. The weekend is suppose to warm up.
This is a great town to spend some time. Its has alot of things to see and lots of streets to wander around in. We are planning 3 days stay. Bob will  have pictures later to post.
We came in to the marina early at high tide and boy was Bob glad he made that decision. We saw other boats try to come in later and they struggled with the current.
We had pannini sandwiches for lunch and I think pasta with salad for dinner.
I don't think I will post again until we move from here.

  2. My Mom & Dad really liked St. Augustine - lots to see and do - very historic. Don't forget to visit the fountain of youth!
    Hope you are doing well - we'll see you at Christmas!
