We were up bright and early this morning and underway by 6:45am. It was supposed to be a fairly long day, but with the current with us for most of the way...we ended up pulling into St. Augustine at 1pm. The St. Augustine Municipal Marina has undergone some changes to their operation a year ago which is good. There used to be a lot of liveaboard boats in the harbour that would anchor there full time. These boats would rarely leave their spot and a lot were, generally, in rough shape. The marina now has a few mooring fields that take up probably 80% of the previous anchorage. The mooring is only $20 for the night and, for that fee, you get a water taxi straight from your boat, pump out at the boat, washers, showers, lounge, Internet...etc. It is quite convenient and reasonable. They do stop taxi service at 6pm, so you need to be organized and be back by then. So, we were really happy with this marina we decided to stay for a few days and enjoy what St. Augustine had to offer. We picked up trolley ride tickets which is a little train that takes you all over town. We decided to purchase our tickets and just take the last run of the night. It was good to see the town and figure out our plan for the next few days.
