Sea Turtle Festival

The Sea Turtle Festival did not open until noon so Bill and I decided to go out for breakfast.  We used to do this a lot, but not so much anymore.  The festival was at the marina and they were setting up.  This is the view from our boat.

After breakfast we took a nice leisurely stroll through some of the residential streets.  We walked by what is supposed to be the Oldest House in St. Augustine, but it looked like all of the other houses next to it.  Not really picture worthy.  I did see this tree.  Well actually two trees.  It is a palmetto growing in a living oak.  It looks kinda like the oak is hugging it.

Back at the marina the festival was underway.  It wasn't a very large festival, as festivals go.  The Keepers of the Coast is the organization that puts it on each year.  This is the 6th annual.  There were lots of educational booths, many of which were geared toward conservation and they were child friendly.

There was a stage set up for different musical acts, like the singer and mandolin player here.

Captain Zack, Head of Eco Tours, was there with his daughter Julie.  They were off to the face painting booth.

It was an extremely windy day by the water.

This was the only "Adult Only" booth.  Yes, the beer booth.  Sweetwater Brewing donated the beverages.  Bill had the IPA and I tried the Blue (blueberry).  Not bad.

If you look real hard you can see Enigma.  She is the blue sailboat.

And yes, of course, there was a Sea Turtle.

Off to linner (lunch/dinner) at an Irish Pub.  Hope everyone had a great day.  We did.
