This is a 5-story barge that came through St. Augustine last night !
The Bridge of Lions had to open for it !!
Us leaving St. Augustine this morning
You just never know where your job will lead you !
Another boat aground !
Another derelict boat....different story though
someone lives on it !!!
I'm cold !!
No matter how slow of a pass these big boats give you...
they leave big wakes !!
We wanna help!
Just out for his morning walk!
Instead of a sandy beach, it's a muddy beach !
However, I'm glad it was muddy...read on ....
Huge, huge barge getting ready to come under the bridge
Of course he has the right-away!
And I'm driving....I decided to turn it over to Bob !
Thankfully Bob is driving at this point
It is low tide right now....and we are in 1.8 ft of water
which means the keel had to be dredging the soft mud !
At least on the starboard side...the port side said 4.0
The barge is through the bridge and doing everything he can
to move out of our way so we can get out of the mud before
getting really stuck !
Good job on the barges part and on Bob's
We are now at 3.1 feet !
Huge, I say, Huge !
Thank you for doing a great job !
You can see here how low the tide is
Another shot of how low the water was
This is for you Mike Petrick !
Gotta love the Marines !!
Can't wait to see this finished next year !
This is the other side of where all the houses are.
Nothing but beautiful woody scenery !
Love this house !
We are now in St. John's River
Boy is there a lot of "rage" going on
For about 10 minutes we were being thrown
around from every direction!
The boat we are following is call "Ducinea"
This is the guy in Key West that gave Bob a ride
back to our boat so we could get the bolt cutters to
cut off the lock on the dinghy.
Small world! They went to the Exumas and Abacos
after leaving Key West.
A tug in rage !
Thumb's down on this cold weather !
I made this cake and it tasted like soap !
It was so bad we had to throw it away !
These cupcakes were made out of the same bowl
but they tasted fine ??!!??!
The only difference in the two of them was....
I added Graham Cracker Ready Crust to the
yellow cake...now why wouldn't the cupcakes taste
like soap, but the better question is, why did the cake taste like
soap....also, just for information, I made the cupcakes first and
used same bowl without washing it for the cake ???
I'm stumped !
Our sun beginning to set
Halfway there
Thank you God for another beautiful day !!
This morning around 10:15 we decided to move on instead of staying in St. Augustine another day. Originally it was supposed to be super cold and rainy but as it turns out, it is cold just not super, and instead of rain it was sunny....and according to the weather tomorrow is supposed to be the super cold day.
We met some friends of Gary and Jayne's just prior to leaving...They are on a 38' Lagoon named Blue Water and their names are Jim and Donna. They came in the night before and we were going to go over and introduce ourselves this morning, but then we decided to start heading north again. Jim just happened to be in his dinghy prior to our leaving so we flagged him down and introduced ourselves. We will probably run into each other again somewhere along the line!
During our travel today we had sustained winds of 25-30 with gusts of 42 knots! and it was cold, very cold! I have to say the St. John's River is quite the ride. It's like being on a roller coaster only you're being thrown from side to side also!
We went 62 miles today and I/we were pretty happy to drop anchor just prior to sunset.
Now all we have to do is get to bed while it's still warm before the temperature drops to 34 tonight!
Thankfully we have our genny back and a heater on board!
