Where It All Started – St. Augustine, Florida, USA, 4-8-21

 

Where It All Started– St. Augustine, Florida, USA, 4-7-21

We did some unwinding on a mooring in St. Augustine for a few days since we got here on Tuesday and were not able to arrange an early haul out.  Ron had some consulting to catch up on and it was nice to be back in a town we knew so well.

Sailing Hubby drove the intercoastal majority since it is the freeway of mariner traffic (a.k.a. insanity on a stick).  We saw boats aground, shallow shoals, sail drive leaks (only a little), people anchoring too close, with mega yachts & speed boats galore passing you at a moments notice (even under a bridge!).    It was crazy and stressful but it back to the starting when we got here, Sailing Hubby crashed…hard.  Even though we fought the weather the entire season, there was the promise of next season.  


Although it is weird to be back, it is starting to feel a bit more like home.  We had a chance to get our favorite tacos at Osprey and pizza by the slice at Pizza Time in Old Town.  We did some non-food stuff too but, hey, I like to eat!  Only 3 miles to the marina from here.

About Ron C

Hi, I'm Sally and this is my husband, Ron. I’ve been doing marketing for the last 30 years for tech companies and Ron is a biomedical engineer. Basically, he knows what he is doing and well, I don't. However, the yin and yang of our relationship is total bliss. We decided after 10 years of marriage, the joy of suburbia, and years of travelling, that this was for us. So, we saved, retired, and this is our story. We’ve taken trips to Costa Rica and love it. Nowhere on earth can you see that many masonry animal statues and not a pothole crew in site. Beautiful. Then there was Jamaica where the night before we left, I broke my big toe and was not able to go into the water. Instead, we experienced the most amazing singing bartender while drinking "Shit on the Grass." No lie. Then there was British Virgin Islands where we chartered a boat three times. Twice with just us and the final time with our 4 daughters. Man, there is no better way to hear your kids complain than in a space that small. That was some quality family time there. Now we are empty nesters, we have purchased a Leppard Catamaran and you are invited to come along for the ride. Should be a total hoot.
