St. Augustine

Well our first morning in Florida started off on the chilly side. We had quite a bit of frost on the boat, but after a couple of hours it warmed considerably and even pushed into the 60's by mid-afternoon. We motored the 10 miles to St. Augustine in time to make the 0930 bridge opening in the center of town. The first thing we did when we went ashore was take much needed showers and do some laundry. Next we went for a scooter/walk and found incredibly tasty pizza nearby. Things were feeling better. Unfortunately, we lost most of the afternoon to a fruitless attempt to renew Lucy's passport. It involved too many taxi rides with little accomplished other than passport photos. This is one of those things we should have taken care of months ago but kept putting off. We finally decided we would take care of it in person at the Miami Passport Agency, which means we will be going to Miami. Although not exactly what we had planned, it will set us up nicely for our approach across the Gulf Stream and into the Bahamas. We ended the day with a nice visit with Amie's cousin and her two children. 

Frost!
St. Augustine is good for scooters!
