12/14/15 Ferindina and points south.

Discovered a leak in the foot pump for raw water and also the Whale Urchin pump.  We called West Marine and had parts delivered to St. Augustine for the Urchin and to Stuart Fl for the Foot pump.  Fueled in Ferindina and headed to St. Augustine, stopping at Pine I. for an overnight.  We arrived St Augustine on the 15th and picked up a mooring for 3 days as our part would take that long.  We took our bikes ashore and toured the city with Skipper along the side.  We met with Rei Egber a friend from Nova Scotia and went shopping and out for lunch and a brew  in old town.  He was passing through to his boat in Indian town and  we had a great visit with him.  After retrieving our pump kit and rebuilding the Urchin we departed for Daytona, arriving at an anchorage below Memorial lift bridge.  High Winds were forecast, and we wanted to be at a place handy for Skipper.  There is a park that we anchored next to on the west side that fit the bill.  The following AM winds were still pretty heavy and we did not want to continue till it calmed down.  Decided to wait a day.
