Mayport to St.Augustine, Florida

A beautiful, clear
and calm day saw us slip lines and motorsail the 30 or so miles to St Augustine,
the oldest continuously inhabited and most attractively maintained town in the
US. Funny, we bought new sails when we first got
We anchored in front
of the fort and just as the sun was setting, we heard a huge BOOM from the canon
on the ramparts – we were under attack, being fired upon – by the British!
Damned unfriendly if you ask me!
