Friday was a pretty quiet day here in St. Augustine. We didn't do any exploring of the town. First on hand was to go to the Marine Consignment Store. The Sailors Exchange is pretty good size and jam packed with marine stuff. On the way here part of the pedestal that holds the Chartplotter busted. It is made of old wood that just got really soggy and salty. We do lean on it a bit since it is attached to a metal u-brace that goes into the floor. Bill was ingenious enough to tie it with rope for the remainder of the way here.
Looks pretty right? NOT! Besides, we need that line for something else, I am sure. We didn't find what we were looking for in the store. We did see an air conditioner that would fit in the forward hatch for only $400.00. But what if that broke, no warranty. Good price but we were afraid it would end up costing us more in the long run.
So we took a nice ride in the little red corvette. Back to the airport. Returned the keys. :'( Took a taxi back. Then it was time to walk over to the second Irish Pub. Remember I said there were four. The Irish Clam Chowder was yummy. So was the rest of the food and of course the Irish Beer. Coming back there was a rope and signs across our finger slip. It was for the El Conquistador. I think they forgot we shared this dock.
Kinda hard to see there. Saturday hopefully will be more of an exploring day, although they do call for Thunderstorms all day. I am writing this at 9:30 and the sun is out with very few clouds.
Patti and Bill :-)
