Waiting in St Augustine

Still here.  Waiting for a chip to upgrade out chartplotter software and a stud that I snapped while replacing one of our injectors on the diesel.  Nice place to wait.  They do Christmas up huge here.  It's their busiest holiday season.  So here are some pictures.

Our house.

Our Christmas tree.

Friday night carols in the park

Saturday night pageantry.  This city is 452 years old!  It is rich in history and very proud of it.  This is the only city in Florida that we know of that has some soul.

Egrets are everywhere and afraid of nothing.

This bird spent the night with us.  What is it Mindy?  Looked like a heron.

There are huge boats here.  Here's a couple.

We'll complete a very long list of chores while we're here before heading south on Wednesday.  Expect to be in W Palm Beach on Tuesday, the 17th where we will wait for a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas. 
Thanks for checking in on us.  We've had more than 2500 views of this blog.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Joyous Festivus for the rest of us.
