On Black Friday, we drive north to St Augustine.  The weather is still cool but the sun shines and we have decided to slowly move north. We made a reservation at St Augustine beaches' motel.  The beach is very long and due to the north winds of the last week, there are nice swells ...

After a long walk on this deserted beach, we decide to get supper and then head into town. It has been a long time that we have not been here and it feels strange to be here without the boat!  The town is packed, there are already Christmas decoration in the square, the winds have stopped and it is a magnificent evening!

St Austine charms us every time we visit! But the times are changing: we noticed that there are mooring fields close to the city; but it is still permitted to anchor..as per this linkhttp://www.portofstaugustine.com/free-anchoring.html.  Cruisers do not trust their skills to anchor anymore and feel happy to take a mooring...as long as it is not an obligation to take on, why not! And yes, the city is rebuilding the breakwater as tides have been growing higher from one year to another...
