28 March 2016 – St. Augustine to Palm Cove
29 March 2016 – Palm Cove to Fernandina Beach
6 days at Fernandina Harbor Marina
We enjoyed two relatively easy days on the water making our way to Fernandina Beach, FL for our last stop in Florida.
We decided this wasn’t a good place to park the boat on our way past the St. Augustine airport.
We decided to get a slip at Fernandina Harbor Marina so we could more easily get a technician to look at the dinghy outboard than if we were tied to a mooring ball. But first, Bob decided to try to start the motor one more time. And of course, the motor started on the first pull of the cord. Again, it starts effortlessly whilst in a marina where we don’t really need it. So…. we’ll wait and see what happens the next time we are not attached to land.
We got comfortable in the marina and high winds and thunderstorms were in the forecast so we decided to stay tied to the dock rather than move on to a mooring ball for the rest of our stay.
Checking the weather every day, we are currently planning to do our first off shore passage for a day sail from Fernandina Beach to St. Simons Island, GA on Monday, 4 April.
Until then, we will explore and enjoy the historic town of Fernandina Beach and its many fine eating establishments.
