NB Days 12, 13 & 14 – St Augustine and St Simon’s Island

On Saturday night in St. Augustine, we had drinks and dinner with our Key West boating friends Jane and Steve. So much fun.

Then on Sunday morning, Allison drove down from Ponte Vedra so that we could have breakfast together. We worked together about 12 years ago, and it was great to see her again! When I met her she was single; she’s married now with a daughter Maggie.

Today, Monday the 15th, we left St. Augustine at 7AM – before sunup. (Can someone please explain to me why we still bother with Daylight Saving Time?)

The St. Augustine Inlet is tricky, so we ran north in the ICW for two hours, then went outside at St. John’s Inlet and ran another 4 hours in the ocean to the St Simon’s Inlet in Georgia. Sunny skies and flat seas. We were tied up by 1PM. 100 miles in 5 hours. The boat ran perfectly. Thank you, Lord.

We enjoyed our time in Florida and the Keys, but I’m glad to leave it behind.
