The inlet in St Augustin is know for its high surf. We took a bitting on the way out and one of the waves was 10 ft high. Everything flew across the boat and a few things broke as we turned north into course. The ride was pretty uncomfortable and we took the next inlet in Jacksonville, Fl to go inside the waterway and be protected. We moved slowly but safer.... read more

To make the story short…My job was done in the Westport 112 as the owners didn’t have any more trips planned on the yacht for the rest of the summer. Luckily Fort Lauderdale is full of boats this time of the year and there is plenty of work around. The yachts are coming back from the Caribbean season and Bahamas to head to the Med, Alaska and the West Coast of US and Canada. …Or to do the traditional East coast USA. I didn’t want to waste time looking for the dream itinerary and miss the season so just grabbed the first opportunity. I got offered to join a Lazzara 116’ and chef for the owners and crew. We had a few days to get the boat ready and provision. We departure early to bit a ... read more

Castillo de San Marcos Castillo de San Marcos is the United States oldest masonry fort. It is an example of the "bastion system" of fortification. The "bastion system" was developed the first quarter of the 16th century in northern Italy and it was the dominant fortress design for 300 years. The design used angled bastions that provided no dead ground where an attacker could hide. The arrowhead shaped bastions would allow the cannon to fire along the faces of the adjacent bastions. The fort has four bastions named San Pedro, San Agustín, San Carlos and San Pablo The stone used in Castillo de San Marcos was a porous conglomerate mixture coquina that has microscopic air pockets. The conglomerate mixture lets cannon balls fired burrow their way into the rock and stick there. It was the only ... read more

Är nu klockan 10 på kvällen och är i St Augustine och det är sista natten vi spenderar i Florida. Haft det finfint här nere och åker jag till USA igen är det nog till Florida jag far. Var i Miami igår och tyvärr var vi bara där en dag. Hade lätt kunnat spendera en hel vecka där. Hann inte med att se allt jag ville se. Hann dock ett dopp i Miami Beach och var det varmaste havsvatten jag badat i... någonsin.... inte ett dugg svalkande. Men skönt. Fränt att se skyskraporna just vid stranden också. Blev lite snabbshopping oxå. Billigt som tusan här, så blev en skjorta, en tröja och ett par solbrillor. Middagen åts på en uteservering, men tyvärr ingen utgång på stan. Besvärligt när alla inte är 21 och kommer in på ... read more

Pulling into North Beach Camp Resort, 4125 Coastal Highway, St. Augustine, Florida always feels like coming home for us. We've stopped here for a few nights on our way into Florida (October or November) for the past 9 years. If we don't take the Panhandle heading home; we stop again in March or April. Full hooks up, nice staff, indigenous plants between sites offering more privacy, nice beach across the street, heated pool, and two restaurants (one on the Atlantic Ocean; one on the river side) all add to the attraction. We're always on the lookout for something new. This trip, we discovered that we can drive the Jeep on part of the beach. Often this is a privilege reserved for Florida citizens and comes with a hefty fee. Not so here when during the "off ... read more
