Daytona to St. Augustine

We had a good run from Daytona to St. Augustine.  We just made the last bridge opening at Daytona before the morning rush hour restrictions.  The current had us cruising along at over 7 knots for several hours.  We got through our one potential trouble spot at Fort Matanzas without any problem. We called BoatUS to get current information on how to negotiate this tricky piece of river and just followed their instructions.  We were so close to the river bank at one point our chart plotter showed us on land.  It was shallow but not dry land where we went.  We were pretty well protected from the winds today until we got to St. Augustine where getting on the mooring ball was a bit challenging for Paul who was single handing his boat which kept blowing off the ball before he could rush to the bow to grab it.  We missed the ball on our first approach when the bow blew off in a gust.  Once on the mooring all was fine as there was no chop in the mooring field.  We still had to deal with the current and wind when launching the dinghy. Dwayne went ashore for a shower and get the car which we left at Camachee Cove.  We are all set for the next few days.
