Ah……the sunshine state at last!

We have made it back to Florida once again.  We can't say its been really hot but there are no frost warnings around and most of the days have been easy enough to handle.  But it is not perfect every day….

What a waste!

From Cumberland Island we just motored down to Fernandina Beach for a couple of days.  We wanted to verify our LBO (local boaters option) information with immigrations so we wouldn't have any hassles coming back into our country.  The office is within walking distance so we had a nice walk, lunch and then we decided it was only appropriate to visit the oldest bar in Florida!  Yep, we found it.  The Palace Saloon has been around for a long time, over 100 years and it was funny to see the new and old right beside each other.  By the way the "Pirate Punch" is as good as people say!

A "real Joint"

Note the old Wurlizter & cigarette machines along with an ATM

After that we made our way down to St Augustine for a week or so.  The city is beautiful and fun.  Speaking of fun, it seems that old home days is in the house as many of our cruising friends seem to be congregating here at the same time.  So far we have come across:

• Kismet
• Slow Flight
• Mutual Fun
• Lime'n
• Blind Faith
• Carina (on the way here)

……….and a bunch of others.  They all are on their way south with some jumping to the Bahamas now and others just getting further south.  

Wait for us!!!!!

The sunsets are getting better!
