St Augustine is a wonderful place to visit. The city had put in mooring balls on the north and south side of the 'Bridge of Lions' and only charge $21 a day. We needed to stop here to have our wind generator replaced under warranty and expected to have it done by Friday Nov 16th. Well that didn't happen and are waiting for a Monday fix. We also had our credit card ripped off with fraudulent charge from Hilton Head which required the cancelation and renewed cards. When it drops it drops.
Then came the weather, we got into St Augustine on Tuesday and plan to stay a week to get everything done. Little did we know the weather would become such a big factor. Wednesday the winds started blowing with rain showers going through. To jump ahead, today is Sunday afternoon and the sun finally came out with blue sky. We have been have winds from the north 24 hrs a day at 15-25 kts. It was creating white caps in the mooring field. Want a dingy ride without get wet? Then stay in your boat....
First day we rented bikes and rode out to a few favorite places - in the rain - Shopping is everything.
We have walking and walking all over town. Just so happend we got here to enjoy the Festival Of Lights that we didn't get to see. Winds were blowing 25kts and lots of waves, I said it is to dangerous to be out there in the dark to see the lighting of the Christmass tree.
Hopefully we get the generator fixed on Monday and we can continue on south on Tuesday...
