| I was putting on my shoes when I got this look from Hoolie, "What's taking so long? I've got to go!" |
Before exploring, we had to do laundry and do a pump out. In conversation with Ann's friends up north, they all think we are on an extended vacation. We say that we're doing everything you would do in a house except it's floating. You have to buy groceries, do laundry, take out the garbage, be a handyman for repairs - in fact, you do more: plan the day's trip, look in detail at the weather, look at tides, be careful in docking your boat, and so on. It's not a vacation in the normal sense of the word where everything is done for you. It's a floating home where you're the chief repairman, handyman, sanitation engineer, and so on. Still, we do enjoy the cruising.

After the morning chores of laundry, pump out, and groceries (delivered to the boat), we all went for a walk down the pedestrian avenue in St Augustine. It was a Monday so it was not as crowded as yesterday on a Sunday. Almost nobody was wearing masks but then the virus level in Florida is now one of the lowest anywhere, besides, we stayed outdoors.

The house batteries that were completely discharged have been recharged after 24 hours of pumping amps into them. We'll see if they hold a charge overnight when we anchor out on Tuesday. We're headed for the Bethune Park anchorage which has a convenient dinghy dock for Hoolie relief. There's plenty of room there in 10 ft water for lots of boats. Then it's on to Titusville the next day.
