Docked at Camachee Cove Marina in St. Augustine, new crew ( the girls crew) watched in amazement at the great efforts to spit-shine the boat by the Ft. Lauderdale Crew. Boat never looked better!
We made dinner reservations in the historic part of St. Augustine at a great Italian restaurant that Ken and I had found on our last visit to St. Augustine. Time for Crew pictures finally.
Clean, refreshed, fed, and discovering the land-legs all were happy!
St. Augustine to Edisto Beach was done by the all woman crew of Teri, Leslie, Mary, Debi, and Kristine. Not as exciting as the Nassau Hopetown overnight sail but great nights in Savannah with a low country boil courtesy of Jerry and Diane\’s Polk market and three stops along the way.
Just finished a great sail: Pier 66 Fort Lauderdale/WestPalm/Cape Canaveral (where Vicki took off with 7&7’s)/Saint Augustine. Crew was terrific—Jori/Vicki, the college buddies; Scot/Charlie—the teenagers; Denny and I—Oregon High School lives on! Downwind all the way—15 mph or more. Left Cape Canaveral at 6:00 pm winds of 25+, seas six to nine feet added to the excitement but turned downwind and the teenagers turned two well sailed night shifts. Arrived in Saint Augustine—Camachee Harbor—mid day Saturday meeting with the “girls crew” for a night out in the old section of saint Augustine.
Camachee brought back fond memories—five years ago Niki, Liza, Kristine and I obtained our American Sailing Association basic keel boat certificate from the CC dealer at Camachee Harbor, the dealer then rented me the Windy Gill, a CC110 for ten weeks. loved the boat, bought a slip at Conch Harbor and the rest is history.
Had a round of ports and jazz at Stogies—our favorite Saint Augustine spot in 2004—somethings never change!
See you on the Water
