This was the Ponce De Leon Hotel built in the early 1800's by an oil barron named Flagler. It is in the center of St. Augustine today as Flagler College. Put this city on your list as a must-see if you haven't already. We are extending to 4 days to see more, including the Golf Hall of Fame about 8 miles outside the city.
Today, we attended Ancient City Baptist church. Good message by the pastor who has also agreed to give me some names for my research. The weather has been magnificent.
Nautically speaking, we are entering a part of our journey where the tides are getting higher and lower. Right now it is around 4 feet. It will approach 8 feet by the time we reach Savannagh, Ga. Getting the boats into slips is more of a challenge when you have tidal currents pushing the boat one way and the wind the other. A boater next to us hit our boat as he was trying to dock his. The damage appears to be minor, just a rub rail repair that he will pay for, of course.
At this dock (Augustine Municipal Marina) we have met several others who are on the Loop cruise as well. Should be fun reconnecting as we continue our journey.
