The wind finally died down a little and shifted to the southwest, bringing warmer air. By afternoon, the sun came out.
At first, we thought we'd head down the ICW towards Jacksonville, but we needed groceries and there's no place that we know of to buy groceries between here and St. Augustine (Jacksonville would be way out of our way), so we decided we better shop while we're here. We're glad we did, because when we got to the dinghy dock, the dockmaster wished us Merry Christmas and said everything was free. Usually, the dinghy dock costs $5 for more than six hours, showers are $1.50, and dumping trash is 50 cents a bag, so it was really nice getting all that for a Christmas present.
We walked the two miles to the grocery store. By the time we got there, it was nearly one o'clock, and we were hungry, so we ate a yummy lunch at Kentucky Fried. Then we bought the groceries and walked back. The store would have transported us back for free, but it was a nice day and it felt good to stretch our legs, so we walked.
After we put the groceries away, we took showers. The showers were good one, with lots of room and a bench. All tile.
