The only thing better than enjoying the sights and experiences of this trip is sharing them with friends. That was certainly the case during a recent visit by our good friends from home Mimi &
Larry and Martha & Mike. They joined us for dinner and an overnight stay on the boat Tuesday. In spite of running aground and getting
lost in the dark, a good time was had by all.
On Wednesday Martha, Mike, Larry and I took a 28 mile boat trip from Daytona north to Palm Coast. Mimi and Susan joined us by car and again we enjoyed cocktails and dinner at Palm
Coast’s European Village.
Mimi, Larry, Marta and Mike thanks for joining us, we love you guys lots. Safe travels home.
Friday Susan and I traveled to St. Augustine where we docked at the municipal marina right in the heart of downtown. St. Augustine is a charming city with lots of fabulous architecture and art. On Saturday we rode our bikes to the Anastasia State Park on Anastasia Island and relaxed on the beautiful beach.

No discussion of St. Augustine would be complete without mentioning its history. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S.A., settled by Spanish colonists in 1565. Susan and I attended church
services Saturday evening at Cathedral Basilica of Saint Augustine, the first parish in the America’s.

Ahoy Susan and Brad, it was wonderful spending time with you in Florida and on your beautiful sailboat, Northern Light. Timing is everything...and sleeping on the boat was a real treat for us. Mike and I enjoyed the wonderful trip up the intercoastal from the Daytona Beach area to Palm Coast, it was a perfect day except that Mimi and Susan had to drive the car! Thanks for your hospitality and also for the coconut patties, they are a hit for sure. Take care and we will keep following you on the blog. Safe travels! Love, Martha and Mike O'Flaherty
Captain Brad,
I would think that after 30+ years of sailing you wouldn't be running aground and getting lost anymore. Must be that hot sun (or all those cocktails) is getting to you.
Mr. and Mrs. Light,
I love that you are keeping up the blog like this. It's fun to see all your adventures, and I still manage to be jealous even with plenty of my own going on. The church in St. Augustine looks rather familiar!
I have already told Tim I'm going to make him do this with me someday. I'm really happy for you and wish you the best the rest of your trip. I'll see you up north if you ever make it home.
Greetings from Spain,
Mark
