Report:
1) Wonderful Towboat US - they brought me in and got me settled when I was having fuel problems.
2) St. Augustine Municipal Marina - clean, well staffed, helpful, competitively priced. A bit tricky to get in, the currents around the Bridge of Lyons are pretty severe. Once in the slip they are not a concern. Showers and rest rooms (at least the mens') were clean and well cared for.
3) The city was a big disappointment. First, they roll up the sidewalks at 9 PM. Not much fun for a sailor. There is a pedestrian only street that is very pretty. But it is all shops and a couple of very mediocre restaurants Sort of Duval St. without any bars. Yes, sounds ugly and it is. I would be remiss however if I did not point out that I saw more very good looking women of all ages in a one hour tour than I have elsewhere except in Key West during Spring Break..
Cruising my 1995 Catalina 42 MK II sailboat with my cat XO, the good, the bad, and the ugly of the open ocean world cruising life.
