St. Augustine FL
27 April 2012
We crossed back to the U S almost two weeks ago. we thought we would spend more time in Bimini but after one night we had the weather window we needed. we came into Lake Sylvia at Ft. Lauderdale. made our way up to Vero Beach where we spent a good week relaxing, grocery shopping, going to good restaurants and generally catching our breath.
It took four days to get up to St. Augustine which is a town we really enjoy. Arrived yesterday and will leave tomorrow. We went to a favorite resetsurant last night, Pizza Alley for sangria, pizza and music.
The Bounty tall ship is here at the dock for tours. It is the actual ship used in the movie with Marlon Brando. Took pictures from the dock and still need to decide if we will ante up the $20 each for the tour.
We should be in Green Cove Springs by Sunday night to start decommissioning Sirius. Always a bittersweet time. Sirius performed wonderfully this trip so we need to do our best to lay her up properly to protect her while we are gone at least 18 months.
