Departed anchorage fifteen minutes before sunrise. We then ran down the river into King's Bay. King's Bay is the home of the Atlantic Trident Submarine fleet. Once before I had seen a Trident going to sea. This time we saw one returning to port.
Just before sunset, we arrived at our destination, St. Augustine. This sets us up for the jump outside to the Atlantic. The Bridge of Lions has been under repair and the waterway is closed until Friday. So we will sail 68 miles out St. Augustine and re enter at Ponce de Leon entrance.
After our rocky crossings of four major sounds, a calm day on the ocean will be a joy.
Other news. We have a reservation for parking the boats in Cape Coral that will allow both crews to return home for the middle two weeks of February. We should return to the trip on the 18th and explore the keys more fully
