Back in Saint Augustine

We slowly made our way North to Saint Augustine; the oldest city in America. On day 1, we anchored in the Cement Plant Canal after motorsailing against a contrary current the whole way; at least the "whole way" was only 18 miles. The anchorage wasn't particularly pretty with a Sea Ray plant to our stern, but well protected. The guides stated the depths to be 16 - 20 feet, but we only saw about 10 feet. That was good since the canal was pretty narrow! On day 2, we motored & sailed 15 miles to the Fort Matanzas anchorage - very nice! We hit 7.7 knots sailing up the narrow channel. We anchored about 150 yards from the Fort. Walked the nature trail and then walked North about 2 miles on A1A in the wrong direction to a convenience store. Fortunately a nice man who told us that we were walking in the wrong direction gave us a ride to the store! Our bottoms of our feet were kind of sore, so the walk in the water on the way back felt really good. Fort Matanzas protected the southern approach to Saint Augustine. Day 3 - weighed anchor at 0700 and motorsailed to Saint Augustine; about 14 miles. Stopped at the City Marina for diesel, pump out, and water. Then anchored (after 3 drops) in the North anchorage in front of the Castillo San Marcos Fort. We will be here til Wednesday. Today we walked to West Marine to buy a new fresh water pump - the Life Caulk fix failed!
