Last evening happy hour took place on EverGreen....we had 13 in the salon...and the girls decided that we wanted to shop in Fernadina so we set the departure time for this morning at 7:30 AM....We have been rolling into port about 4 or so each day and thought we should get in a little earlier.....so the boys cooperated and we were all away by 7:15....

 We did not get into St. Augustine, but several things made it special....as we passed the old fort on the waterfront, they shot off the cannons and we are sure it was just for us.....

Then after dinner, fireworks started going off near what appeared to be the downtown waterfront, and we all went up to the bow for a wonderful view.....and again we decided it was just for us.....isn't St. Augustine wonderful?

The marina was very nice and there were many boats that just made our Krogens look small....

So a few pics for the day.....first is the eagle that was just sitting on a small rise on the edge of the marshes...

Next is a picture of those at the party....left to right....Lee and Barb Fosset, Barbara Boykin, Helen, Pat Edmonds and Al and Susan"s daughter and son in law, who came down to meet them for dinner.  As you can see, the food is almost gone...

In the next picture, you see Al and Susan and their grandaughter.  On the right is Pat's husband Ted.

This last picture was taken as we went under an 80 foot high bridge...there were two girls sitting on the piling platform at the water line with no connection to the land...how'd they get there....they had a great close up view of all the boat traffic....hope their ride home shows up.

I get up at 3:3O AM tomorrow to make a 6 am flight out of Jacksonville to go back to Boise....so sad......
