Bethune Park - at anchor

Our early morning start from Titusville - at least it’s not an “Oh dark 30” start

 We finally got off today and we were rewarded with a calm ride, no surprises. Ponce de Leon was at 8.4 MLLW, just follow the Bob423 track. We like the Bethune Park anchorage because there’s plenty of room and there a dinghy dock for tracking Hoolie ashore. It’s built with a tee on the end so your can get out of any wave action regardless of the direction of the wind. 

The dinghy dock as concrete docks - very steady

The park has a wide area for walking Hoolie which we took advantage of. We were immerse in rain for about an hour but found a hole in the clouds for the trip ashore. The forecast for Tuesday is not so good with rain all day long. At least there’re no thunderstorms in the outlook, just rain but it’s due to stop around 3:00 pm, after we are due to pull into St Augustine. 

I’ll report back on what I see at Ft Matanzas and the shallows there in tomorrow’s blog. We are on the move again!
