After 12 hours of sleep, we almost felt refreshed this morning! After breakfast I caught the 1000 water taxi to the marina to do our last load of laundry and have a shower. Jorge had some downtime on the boat by himself. It was obviously laundry day for the cruisers as every machine was busy with loads waiting. So I headed to the showers instead and totally pampered myself! Extra long shower, tweezers, razor, hair dryer, creams, lotions - ladies you get the picture. Guys - use your imagination. Afterwards I had time to kill before taking the taxi back to the boat so I browsed in the nearby marina store (the taxi only runs every two hours.)

Translation for landlubbers - docking for dinghies made out of fiberglass at slip #8.

(I couldn't resist taking the picture!)

After catching the water taxi, I dropped off the unwashed laundry and shower items at the boat. Jorge was ready with a picnic lunch and we took the same taxi back to the marina. Off we went, sightseeing.

We had lunch in this park.

We eventually walked to the same plaza that I did yesterday where the grocery store was and visited West Marine. We were looking for Bahama charts. The charts were less expensive in the marina store than West Marine so we decided to buy them there.

St. Augustine City Hall.

The weather was wonderful, blue skies, warm temp (25C) and no humidity. Finally, no more long johns!

We had bbq steak for supper with all the trimmings, including a good bottle of red wine. It was a perfect day!
