  It is December 9, 2012 and this is our last evening at Ortega Landing Marina.  We have been here two weeks, taking care of administrative details, stocking the boat, doing oil changes, some maintenance, etc.  Tomorrow, we get underway early for St Augustine and plan to stay on a mooring ball.  So far the weather has not been very cooperative.  Only a few days of our trip have been clear and sunny but the long range forecast suggests a change for the better latter next week.  It has been getting warmer as we move South -- that's a good thing.

  1. Warm is always a good thing. We are looking forward to heading south ourselves in a week.
