To St Augustine

 I weighed anchor at 8:10 and headed north to St. Augustine.  

I got some motor sailing in.  Arrived and anchored south of St Augustine mooring field.  

Tuesday morning I tried calling in for a mooring ball, but Nick was not too cooperative, saying check-in was at 11 AM.  

The winds shifted and had to re-anchor.  I did not want to wait until 11 to get a mooring ball, so I dinghyed into St Augustine Marine Marina, got rid of my garbage, updated some iPad movies and walked to Sailors Exchange to look for more junk for the boat.  Got a new Hella anchor lite and another new RAM 3 mike for the cockpit.  This one worked.  Had a tour of the town, had a shower and returned to BELLUM to find that she was again close to the same neighbour's boat.  I re-anchored.

Made some sausages and potatoes and onions.

The next morning I departed north.  Again, the boats swung too close, but I was leaving anyway.
