We just completed our first week on the Great Loop. We stayed in two marinas – Ft. Pierce and Rivers Edge in St. Augustine. Rivers Edge was a no-frills marina but clean and fun, with great people and a happening restaurant on site – Hurricane Patty’s! Friday night we had our first meal off the boat in six days at Hurricane Patty’s. Great music and seafood.

The Nebo app lets you know what AGLCA boats are at the marina – and nearby. We met a great family staying on “The Wright Choice” – the Wrights.

We also met the couple on the Crimson Tug and even ran into them shopping at Winn Dixie! The sailboat next to us had a lovely couple who helped us dock and depart.

The sailboats in this marina dwarfed us, they were so huge. Most just sail in the ocean because of bridge limitations on the ICW.

Captain Patrick loves nothing more than taking his dinghy for a ride – he did it twice. Once with me and once without. With me on the boat it doesn’t “plane” as well. Need to lose weight I guess. -:)

And – I was so excited to discover this marina had kitties as well! Meet Melvin! – my Dad and brother Gary’s middle name. Good luck for sure. Here’s Melvin and his cohort Cruiser. Cruiser is not so friendly, and goes after all the dogs walking.

And here is me, the night of our dinner out! On the dock by Sunshine.

Here’s a photo of our last morning in St. Augustine – Patrick eating his usual Sunday morning breakfast – waffles and Coburn Road Maple syrup – yum!
