Our first sailing cruise from Florida, to the coast of Maine, and all that happens on the way.
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
As the day began we laid our lazy butts in bed.. The weather was so gray and ugly outside and David had to work, so we weren't in any big rush to get up. We hung around the cabin while the wind howled and the water slapped the haul of the boat. I finally made breakfast about noon. While having breakfast the local harbor master came by and told us we couldn't anchor where we were, but Carl told him we were only waiting out the weather and would leave tomorrow. So he said we could stay there just don't anchor there again. Okay no problem, we won't next time we come this way.. This isn't really like us, but with not much to do, what the heck..We did get in a game of domino's and of course Carl won.. I forgot to tell you that last night after we came back to the boat and I had had a couple of cocktails I decided to cut my hair. Now I know what your thinking she's a hairdresser so it should be okay, well it's kind of like the saying " a doctor who treats himself, has a fool for a patient" well the same thing applies. Not as bad as it could be, but by no means good....We went ashore about 3:30 and headed over to the auto parts to return a couple of those belts Carl had gotten when he fixed the alternator belt. He had bought a couple of different sizes to make sure he had the right one. Now he took 2 back and picked up the right one for back up. I hit the grocery, we needed bread and mustard, then it was time to meet Dave. Bella was back with her friends Barefoot and Fritz and we were headed to the new sports bar across the street for dinner. Dave and Carl had the Texas brisket and I had a plate of dinner sides for only $3.50 more, what a deal..During dinner we enjoyed wonderful conversation and friendship, the only thing missing was Cece. When dinner was done we called it an early night and headed back to the Windward Spirit, we were leaving in the morning. After a little television it was time to hit the hay, with the lighthouse looking out for us during the night. St. Augustine is such a beautiful city and it's always a pleasure to see it. We hope to return here again. A big thank you goes out to Dave and Cece for opening their home to us and helping us to smell better. We loved our visit and look forward to seeing them again..
