St. Augustine Municipal Marina, FL (docked)
June 14, 2022
Our windlass is fixed! The Sailors’ Exchange sent us to an electric motor repair shop who sent us to a A & R Automotive which specializes in electrical repairs like alternators and starters. They were able to repair the brush carriage for us; the brushes no longer hang up on the oversize spring.
John has installed it and it works. We now have flexibilty in where we stop for the evening because we can easily haul up our anchor. Marinas are great in so many ways – showers, laundry, being able to walk around – but we don`t always want that.

In the spirit of our Intracoastal Brewery tour, we walked to Dog Rose Brewery this afternoon. We walked through a quieter part of St. Augustine to get there and took the opportunity to just look closely at the artifacts and art that are just part of daily life here. This is in contrast to the very touristy “Old Town” that has been polished and prettied.




This was actually our second visit to Dog Rose – we were here in January, too.

Tomorrow is another day of leading a virtual workshop. I am glad we are here so John isn’t stuck on Lailia while I work.


Great pic of you both! Loving your adventures 😊
