St. Augustine, FL - Week 3

Week 3 starts off with some better weather.  

 So, we head to the beach!  We can drive on it again!

 The horrible heat and humidity has broken.  Mid 70's and a steady breeze.

Tucson loves it!

We walk along the beach 

 

and see an Osprey trying to fish

It is quite windy to fly

 

 

Other birds are about

A Piping Plover

Royal Tern in flight . . .

 

 

. . . .and at the Bathhouse

A Willet Sandpiper

and the always present Pelicans

The Shrimp boats are out

This one in the far distance appears to be sinking

People trying to catch a wave

People on Bikes

and People on horseback

We visit our friends Amy and Rob to check out their 48' Catamaran they have been restoring for the past 2 years.  They have been doing an amazing job.

Their Dog Ollie - quite the little character!  They named the boat after him "CatDog" because he behaves more like a cat.

Made them a couple of wine glasses with the CatDog theme

They are living their dream and hopefully will set sail early next year, 

though we will miss them!

Finally got a replacement for the 3rd Microwave Convection Oven 

that died in 2.5 years.  An Airfyer Oven and Instant Pot instead

 

Another happy day on the Beach

We drive to Palm Coast to walk on the Waterfront Park trail

There was a Manatee swimming down the river but I wasn't able to get a picture, I did get one of this Heron and Egret

On our way out of the way home we decided to pop in at the RV Park we worked 2 years ago.  This time we managed to catch the train.

Didn't get a chance to hook up with any old friends but did catch this double rainbow on the way out.

Can't believe how 3 weeks have flown by!
