Sometimes I'm in the right place at the right time. I got a call from the Maritime Center about delivering a boat from Charleston to St. Augustine. The owner and I came to a deal, and I took the job. My good buddy Joe agreed to come along and keep me company (not sure he knew what he was getting into!!). With the exception of being fogged in at Beaufort for two days, the trip was quick and uneventful. We had a great time! We had good fun when we were anchored out, and we were able to get out and go to bars while docked in Beaufort, Jekyll Island, Fernandina and St. Augustine. We even behaved ourselves (for the most part). Big thanks to Vince for the job, and to Joe for the help.
On a side note, look at who I ran into as we pulled into St. Augustine. Yep, that's "Best of Times." For some reason, I have run into him the past four times I've moved boats down the waterway. The first time was in January 2013 during my delivery of "Osprey." I linked up with "Best of Times" just south of Myrtle Beach SC. Next time was in the Abacos in April of 2013 when I was cruising with Gabrielle and the boys. On the way home from that trip, I ran into him again at Causton Bluff Bridge, outside of Savannah. Then as we were preparing to go through the Bridge of Lions at St. Augustine, there he was again! Quite a coincidence!
