St Augustine...again!

We came through here last year and stayed a week. This trip it's only overnight and we won't even go ashore. hanging on a mooring ball. It's a great deal at $20.20 per night.  The trip was 61 miles and went faster than we expected. We actually had the current almost the entire trip here. At the top speed we registered 11mph coming toward the St Augustine Inlet.  We tied up to the ball by 3:30 then sat and relaxed....and watched 4-5 boats try to cross an area that has shoaled and run aground!  Peter tried to warn a few on VHF but they did not respond. It's not fun to run aground but especially so when there is an audience! Luckily everyone was able to back off the mud and free themselves. Getting dark now at 5:30PM so we will have to think about dinner.
