We were approaching St. Augustine by 8:30 in the morning, sailing along nicely in a light breeze. I wanted to keep going to Jacksonville, about thirty miles to the north. It seemed a crime to waste such a lovely day, but the weather forecast was for afternoon thunderstorms, so Roy insisted on putting in to St. Augustine. We dropped anchor about 11:30, near the old fortress of Castillo de San Marcos. Roy took a long nap, while I read and listened to the rain on the roof.
The rain quit for a couple of hours, so we got ready to go Royaking, but by the time we were ready, the rain started again, so we stayed on the boat. The rain really cooled things off. I can't believe it's this cool in Florida in the summer.
The harbor here is very shallow. We touched bottom coming in, and we were in the channel. Fortunately, we didn't get stuck.
