Friday, May 20, we made our first ‘shopping’ excursion in St. Augustine, Florida. From Rivers Edge Marina we walked to Winn Dixie and to West Marine (of course, we had to go to West Marine.) Captain Pat has been wanting to safety certify Sunshine with the Coast Guard. The last inspection was in 2016. As luck would have it, the Coast Guard auxiliary had a table set up in the West Marine store.
We met Vessel Examiner Alphonso “Butch” Albano, who agreed to visit Sunshine at the marina for an inspection. Butch came to our boat and Sunshine passed with flying colors!
Thank you, Butch, we so enjoyed your visit and stories, and we learned a lot too.

We really enjoy viewing your travels. Knowing you are enjoying this special trip while we continue to try and manage the crazy family that is renting your house. I finally got them to move that dirty old dump truck once again. Your neighbor was kind enough to drill a hole and drop a post in the middle of the drive so the only thing they can bring up the driveway in the future is a motorcycle……..Stay calm and stay safe! Blessings from all those that walk on water!!!…..
