| Fort Matanzas anchorage from top of Fort |
We have a short trip to
Fort Matanzas, about 15 miles south of St. Augustine. The Spanish
built this small fort at the mouth of the river, that was the back
way to St. Augustine, to prevent any surprise attacks. The fort has
been restored and is a National Monument, run by the NPS. We anchor
near the fort, but have to take the Park Service boat to the fort
which sits in a marsh, only accessible by a Park Service boat.

| Fort Matanzas from Manana |
We decide to stay the
night. Very windy all night and there is a very significant current
here that reverses with the tide. A lot of constant movement through
the night. I check many times to confirm the anchor has not dragged
with the current reversal. I was surprised that Linda slept so
soundly, all night.
