Fort Matanzas - Day 2

 We stayed put today in a beautiful spot with little to no boat traffic for several reasons.  First, the anchor alarm went off twice last night.  There wasn't a real reason except when we swung with the tide we went outside the parameters I had set.  Even though I adjusted the distance, I apparently still set it too low.  So we slept late.  Every 6 hours we spin 180 degrees and even though disconcerting at first, I now look forward to watching the landscape change quickly.

During our morning coffee we decided to spend the weekend anchored outside St Augustine.  Which means we are in no rush to get there and sit in their boat traffic just yet.  

And then Scott informed us that he and Rebecca are coming down to join us in Jacksonville.  So we spent time planning a tentative itinerary with potential anchor sites, things to do, provisioning spots and plane tickets.  So excited they will be joining us!

I spent time organizing photos.  Cleaned bird doodoo off the front of the boat.  Read some John Grisham.  Took a nap.  Cooked on the grill.  

We love our new isinglass.  Today was windy and chilly but we were able to sit outside and be comfortable.

This was taken when we removed the isinglass and brought it to Kelli to fix.

This is today with the isinglass above the cockpit.

And we have found another use for our Nescafe cups.  We now use them as wine glasses.  A perfect size and nice thick glass, we enjoy our wine on the back deck as we watch the sun set!  Thank you again Kathy!

I am so thankful and want to share all this beauty.
