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
