Friday December 17th - Happy Birthday Geoff - started with the 2 plus mile walk to Target and Winn Dixie and West Marine. Then the taxi ride back to the marina, loading up the Gosling and reprovising the boat. Then we took the Red Train tour of the city. It was a beautiful day. We had dinner out in St. Augustine at Harry's.
Saturday we walked to Anesthasia Island and St. Augustine Lighthouse - more than a couple of miles. The lighthouse and keeper's house is next to St. Augustine's Recreation Area. There was a skateboard competition going on in the park with some very talented kids. We toured the lighthouse museum and keeper's house and then climbed the 163 foot lighthouse. Obviously, the view was fabulous. We walked (with some stumbling) back to the city, bought a Christmas flag for Snow Goose, and called it quits for the day.
Sunday, December 19th. A cold front came through last night and it is cold and cloudy, foggy today. We are hanging here on the boat this morning, hoping for some improvement. We have been invited to the Coles' for dinner this evening. I hope there is improvement for that dinghy ride to shore.
Tuesday, December 21st. Dinner with Mike and Oula was very nice - food from the oven and ice cream!
Monday we toured Flagner College and the San Sebastian Winery. A fun day! We decided to hang here in St. Augustine for Christmas. The weather south is no better than right here and there is so much to do right here.
Snow Goose is flying her Christmas pennant - let it snow!
