capnwilliam Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 We just got back from a short vacation in St. Augustine, FL. Mates, what a wonderful place it is! We live in New Orleans, and it reminded us of the French Quarter, without a modern city around it! There's the Fort; the Weapons Museum; ships of various types offering tours of various types, inclding a Pirates Cruise! There are several Haunted tours; the Spanish Village, where you can see living history interpreters doing leather work, blacksmithing, candlemaking, etc. We even saw manatees, and dolphins, come right in to port. On Fridays and Saturdays a group called the Bilge Rats sings sea shanteys at the Spanish Taverm. Unfortunately, we had to catch an earlier plane on Friday, but we did get to enjoy one of the Rats (Brad, who is also the blacksmith) singing solo on Thursday. Shipmates, I can't find enough good things to say about this place! It would take 3 weeks to see it all! We plan to go back again next year. Capt.
