Wheels up ......I mean anchors up at 0630 hours and onward we go out of the St Marys Inlet and into the Atlantic Ocean. As you can see from the photos on the water, it is calm and less than 6 knots of wind so the motor will be running all the way. Jaxon is less petrified than usual as it is calm and he settles in beside Greg for a nap.

We see a turtle and a few dolphin and hundreds and hundreds of these jelly fish. I have never seen anything like it before. They are called Cannonball jellyfish and while they pose “little threat to humans”, the toxin they release harms smaller fish in their vicinity. I guess that is why the fishing boats are further offshore than us. There were miles and miles of them along the coast of Northern Florida.

Only a nine hour ride today to St. Augustine but we were able to get showers underway as it was that calm. So a little bit after lunch we start making our trek to entrance of the St. Augustine inlet. An easy “in” and we take down the main sail and head to mooring ball number 5 in the south field. It is a very substantial mooring ball and from where we are sitting we can see the lights and watch what is happening both on land and on water. We are quite pleased with our spot.

We head into town for dinner with 2 Outrageous and their friends from Ottawa that are visiting. We had chosen Harry’s on the Main Street. It was busy and loud, but the air all around was festive with weddings and Christmas.
