Yesterday we spent in St Augustine. When we dropped the dinghy off the top and I got in, there was a little critter wedged in the oarlock and his picture is below. He was pretty cold after the last couple of nights and I thought he would make good bait, but Cindy thought it was worth reviving him, unsuccessfully. I still thought he would make good bait. Anyway, it was a pretty pleasant day. Tooured the Lightner Museum and Cindy enjoyed looking at the vintage clothes from the TV show Downton Abbey. I enjoyed looking at vintage toasters, buttons, matchboxes, other stuff I didn't know existed and  lot of statues and pictures of women in various states of undress. Actually it was pretty interesting, Civil War relics and a lot of history. We rode our bikes and I went to West Marine to get the 2 remaining zinc anodes I needed. In the evening we went out for a burger at the place we really enjoyed last year and found the food was not even close to last year. Best thing about it was a good beer apiece. Rained last night but cleared up this morning and pulled out early, ended up at Daytona Beach about 2:30, our current location and put on about 50 miles. We are anchored at a good spot, not wilderness, but protected and an easy get away in the morning to go to Titusville. Plan on staying there for 3 nights, so I can work on Thursday, reprovision, and go to Cape Canaveral and the Space Center on Friday. We wanted to go there last year but couldn't make it work.

Vintage toasters ( I wasn't joking)

A very neat looking sauna that was part of the original building where the Lightner Museum is located
