La Buena Vita

That's the name of the boat anchored in front of us here on Ft George River (The Good Life). Yep still at Ft George River.

The weather forecast for the St Augustine area this morning changed from "clear" to 80% rain near 1/2" and 20 - 25 kt winds. A previous unforecast LO had formed off of Canaveral last night.

A check of the weather radar showed rain already at St Augustine and coming towards us this morning at 7am. I decided to stay put and make Pine Island tomorrow.

Skat and Victoria Gaye made it here before the rain hit us here. We will all head to Pine Island tomorrow morning. Because of the weather this afternoon no one feels like launching dinghies and visiting so we just chat on the radios.

It has been a very cool 65 degree afternoon with light rain and wind. The forecast 20- 25 didn't show here.

A good day to just relax and read. Had to run the GenSet a while since the batteries were getting low -- little wind and sun for the wind generator and solar panels.

Hot soup and sandwiches for dinner tonight then on to the St Augustine area tomorrow morning.

Oh the moon didn't come out till after 8pm last night. It got really really dark before that. There are no lights here. It was the kind of dark that is claustrophobic. Most people never experience that kind of darkness except in planetariums.
