We arrived in St. Augustine yesterday after a 53 mile trip up the ICW. We waited to leave Daytona until 10am so we would arrive at the Matanzas Inlet where we heard there was shoaling on the ICW. We paced ourselves getting there and we heard of at least two boats going aground as we approached. We arrived close to high tide and had no trouble getting through. After passing that area we had little trouble on the remaining 15 miles. We are now tied up at one of our favorite marinas on the east coast in old St augustine. We will be here until Sunday and then will set off on the last leg of our jou
rney to Green Cove Springs where we will keep the boat for the summer.
St. Augustine is the home of Ponce De Leon's fountain of youth which he discovered in 1513. Tomorrow when our friends, Fred and Verena, arrive we may go over there to partake in some of the youth restoring waters from the fountain!!!!!!!!
For all our golfing friends we are just a short distance from the World Golf Village and also from the TPC Sawgrass. Both are well worth a visit. Proud to say that Peter has played both courses at Sawgrass and also the 18 hole putting course at the Golf Village.

As you can see Pretzel gets the royal treatment when we go ashore. The fall she took on leaving the Bahamas has not fully healed yet and she limps so we carry her most of the time. She draws a lot of attention in her back pack.
