St Augustine to Daytona

I got up early, crossed the bridge at 7am to get diesel and gas before departing. 

We met a boat named Cygnus 

We sailed for an hour in 8 hours.

We anchored in windy conditions near wind Gypsy and the city docks 

Walked downtown and found a yoga studio Renew Yoga and had. Lamb churr at the Daytona arts fest. Nice Floridian town.  I walked back and went to bed late after an AFD. 

The next morning did my yoga at 9:30 with melanie.

I went back to boat to lighten up on my luggage and warm clothing. Walked about ten miles to TD. Bank, dollar tree., an Amazon bin store, visited a gun shop. Lots of walking



























I came back to the boat to drop off my stuff and ran off for our group dinner at Hull Seafood. Excellent food and extraordinary waiter

Little Sister to St Augustine

It was a long motor ride following Gypsy Wind and Sundance and followed by Midnight, 

I got cut off by a dredger. I got a mooring Ball $95 for three nights with Wi-Fi and showers. I had difficulties finding my mooring ball because I was looking at the south field map and I was on the North field and the 7 was missing from the 27. 


I did not get fuel. I should be good for ten more hours. 

On the first night quick walk through the town with Mark. 

At night, tour boats would weave through the mooring field with Christmas lights and loud music. The town was lite up with white Christmas lights. 


Wednesday, I visited sailors exchange - a warehouse of used boat parts Walked the town. Mostly rather cool temperature. 

Thursday morning there was a funny sound coming from BELLUM - Buzzer. It was raining and some water came in the companionway which was open. I am guessing it was water detector that I was not aware of . It was 3am in the morning

The next day was going to be busy.  I booked the Tolley tour and visited many parts of the town including St Augustine distillery.  


We crossed Lion Bridge to do a Grilled Cheese shop called Arbez (Zebra spelled backwards)
































Nice touristy town



Snode Creek to Dowry Creek anchorage

The morning was 12 C.  Did not want to get out of bed.  Evenually I got out, made Bacon and Eggs and departed at noon.    I could only go 20...
