The dockmaster at Coco Village Marina had given us a map of the area when we checked in yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold and windy and we needed to clean up for our visitors (Pete & Rachael), so we never had a chance to walk into town. The dockmaster told me that there is a “must see” hardware store across the street from the marina and a donut shop right next to that we should not miss.
At 7:00am we walked over to the hardware store. The dockmaster was right. This store had more “stuff” than I have ever seen before. It took us over an hour just to walk through the three buildings that made up the store. It was great. Of course we bought a couple of things that I didn’t realize I couldn’t live without. Then we walked across the street to the donut shop. We got a half dozen mixed variety donuts and some coffee to go.
It was then back to the boat to enjoy donuts and coffee as well as prepare for departure. Today we ran the boat about 120 miles up to St Augustine. We got fuel at Inlet Marina for $2.00 a gallon. We were going to move the boat across the water to Camachee Cove Marina for the night, but the dockmaster at Inlet Marina told us since we purchase more than 500 gallons of fuel the dockage would be free for us tonight if we wanted to stay. Well, you can't beat free.
Gail make spaghetti on the boat tonight for dinner along with some steamed broccoli. We both saved one of our donuts from this morning to have with coffee as our dessert tonight. Good planning on my wife's part.
If the weather holds out tomorrow we might try and run off-shore up to Charleston, SC. Keep your fingers crossed for some nice weather for us. We deserve it!
