The winds have died down and we were eager to get back out cruising and to arrive in Florida. We left our anchorage in GA and spent our first night in Florida at a free dock in Jacksonville. The next day we took a mooring in St. Augustine, FL for 2 days. The moorings were $20 per night which gave us access to the marina’s facilities and their dinghy dock. This little town was one of the most lovely we have visited so far on the trip. We enjoyed the cobble stone streets shopping at little boutiques and enjoyed some great food while being surrounded by old Spanish architecture. Check out the episode after the jump to see what we mean.
We left Great Bridge dock with a little fight with the winds which kept pushing us back into the dock. No damage was done but let’s just say the rub rail got a few good hits but the wood piers was forgiving.
We are so thankful that you are following along in the fulfillment of this dream. We want to wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your Families.
Finally the winds died down and we were all eager to get out on the Chesapeake to continue our journey South.
After wonderful peaceful evening anchored behind the Statue of Liberty we headed out first thing in the morning and were greeted by ferries, freighters and fishermen already starting their work day before the sunrise.
