Saint Augustine

Had some challenges getting here from Daytona, we ran aground and that caused us to arrive at the mooring field after dark which due to the wind(20mph) and the current(5 knts) caused us to take a slip.

This morning during slack tide we moved to a mooring ball.

We got our bikes to the marina and started sight seeing. We really like this town, lots of charm. It's the oldest town in America. Pics below




Above Anita sitting on the ramparts of the Castillo that guards the city, that's the mooring field behind her, that's where our boat is moored.

This is a shot looking down into what used to be the world largest swimming pool, it's located in the Lightner museum, which used to be one of the hotels Henry Flagner built back in the early 1900's






Just another cool building in old town
