Of note. If visiting St. Augustine, take the time to visit Marineland. Great dolphin shows.
After passing through St. Augustine, the trip south was uneventful as I was sailing through the Intracoastal Waterway, so basically, I was making miles towards Stuart, where I would dock for the winter and take my Navigation License before crossing to the Bahamas.
Lots of bridges to pass under and lots of boat traffic during the days and very few places protected enough to drop anchor for the night.
The second evening of passing down Florida, I anchored outsie New Smyrna Beach (which, oddly enough became my home for a year three years later). I dinghied ashore and went to the library and spent the next day just reading about the area. It was a very nice library.
The next two days were basically motoring down towards Stuart and I finally arrived at slip B-217 for my winter in Florida.
The next morning, I got to work checking the boat over and cleaning it up after a long voyage of some 10 weeks and sent off my bike, which had arrived by courier to the marina, to be assembled so I would be mobile.
