We just did over 200 miles last week.
Planning another trip up to St Augustine. I haven't calculated distance yet.

I usually figure about 50 miles from St. Augustine to Daytona. Nice to be that close. Great weekend trip.
I'm guessing it's more like a 2&1/2 hour cruise in Don's boat unless he runs on the inside.
2 hours inside for us including waiting for the Flagler Beach bridge. Easy trip.
The city marina, I understand, has installed a breakwater near the Bridge of Lions. Depending on when you arrive, I would ask for a slip that you can enter against the current. If they have one open they will usually let you have it. You can tie up temporarily at the long fuel dock to look the situation. For a short stay, this is the best place. The marinas on the San Sebastion River are a long walk. The City Marina puts you right in the middle of everything. Their staff is usually very good, too. I love the place.
2 hours inside? Your boat must fly!!
I'm thinking the only draw bridge is the rt 16 one? Right?
... I am quoting mph because the ICW is marked in statute miles.
Yep, I think it is right behind Flagler Beach. It has a very low clearance. We usually cruise at close to 30mph. Take out some time for no wake travel through there. It will probably average about 25 mph. I am quoting mph because the ICW is marked in statute miles.
That's interesting. I never knew that. Is that along the entire length or just in the Area of NASCAR Influence (ANI) south of the Mason-Dixon line?
Don, your boat's so fast, you should have a blue spoiler (with the Confederate flag, of course) on the back to keep the transom down. Maybe HH can help us all visualize that one.
If your unsure about docking in the current, stay on one of the town moorings. You get dinghy tie up at the town marina (200 yds away), a better view of the town, and privacy.
Haven't added davits or a Dinghy yet
Guess I should remove my flybridge to try and keep up with Moonstruck???
Come on. It's been pretty lonely out there.
They have a water taxi that works the mooring fields. Notice that the mooring fields are both north and south of the bridge.
Makes sense. We will finally try out the genset.
What time does the taxi run to?
Very much like Moonstruck. I followed that boat through Worth Creek one time.

When the St Aug mooring field was originally installed there were two significant problems -
1. You were required to tie up at the fuel dock to get your mooring assignment which meant you had to deal with the current, and
2. The pendents were way too short. A boat of any size with a husband wife crew had a hell of a time getting a line thru the loop to tie up.
I’m guessing Larry knows if these problems have been fixed.
Other than that it’s a great place to “moor” .

anyone know if dogs are allowed on the water taxi in St Augustine?
I searched "st Augustine water taxi couldn't find real information
