Underway Again - Finally, St Augustine 9 Feb

    After 4 weeks in Fernandina Beach, where we actually had a very good time in spite of the cold weather, we are finally underway again heading south. Yesterday was cold and rainy so we stayed one more day at the dock, but today's forecast was for sunny skies and light winds, so at 0630 we were throwing off the dock lines and heading out over the creek mudbar a couple hours before dead low tide.

   By 1000, the sun was finally up high enough to burn off the low lying fogs and vapors and clear our plexiglass enclosure and start warming us up. By noon it was a balmy 72degrees inside the enclosure - about 59 outside.

    

   After a full day transit without incident (the best kind) we arrived in St Augustine and went straight to a mooring ball. When we asked for our ball assignment it turned out we are on Ball #1, the first one in the mooring field closest to the marina. It was a short dinghy ride and we were soon all checked in and ready to hit the town for pizza. First  a quick photo session. That's Tides Inn on her mooring ball behind Sue and Rivah and the St Augustine Lion's Bridge way in the background.

   Tomorrow we'll do some more sightseeing and grab some more photos.

Great to be travelling southward again. Now if we just get the temperatures up a bit more out of the 50s.
