Marc-  Today was a wait and see day for weather.  We waited for the rain storms to pass, closely watching the weather radar and noting when there would be an opening for our relatively short passage (16 miles) North to St. Augustine. We found an opening at 09:00 that seemed safe enough with no impending lighting strikes and only light showers.  This is the first rain we have encountered on our trip since last Fall! We arrived at River's Edge Marina after a brief stop for fuel at Cat's Paw Marina.  Our slip for the next few days is on the same pier that we had this past winter and some of the residents remembered us.  This is a low cost, no frills, marina but it fits our needs well. We walked over to the Winn-Dixie Supermarket to replenish the contents of our two refrigerators.  The older lady cashier who was mask-less in January was still mask-less today!  We were horrified to see that in January and just a little less so today.  Later we ate dinner at Hurricane Patty's restaurant at the Marina.  

We had hoped to see dolphins like these during our travels.

We see dolphins like this one all the time.

Only 629 miles to New Jersey.
