We got in on the evening of the 30 of Sept., went to the fuel dock and loaded up with water and fuel for our stay. Probably overloaded some, but better over prepared than under prepared. We had some problems with refrigeration on the way, having to run the generator too long but hey, the AC was fine. The city marina has a shuttle service so we spent the 1st waiting on our dingy valves and walked to the farmers market (4.5 ml) to get the veggies we crave. Scored some great bread and found the nearest little grocery right over the Bridge of Lions. When we got back we stashed our haul and went to O.C. Whites for a great meal. Virgie and I visited there years ago and they told us about the ghost that moved things upstairs. You just can't visit St. Augustine without hearing about the ghosts. Since it is the oldest city in the US and has been the scene of warring of different countries the tourist trade here is all about ghosts. At least you get the history of different areas with the tours. There is also a Colonial Quarter where living history can be observed.
