    • Rough Weather at St. Augustine City Marina (Statute Mile 778)

      Of course, with winds this high, boats in most marinas would be whipped around a bit. Be sure to take a look at the video, linked below. It makes for interesting viewing!

      Here we are at the municipal marina. The core of the NEer is right over us this AM. Winds 30-35 knots steady. It will blow for another day more.
      I tool this video of the boats on the north side of the marina – bucking in the surge coming in from the inlet. The floating docks really break the surge so the south side in much better. The boats in
      the anchorage are doing much better than those at the dock.
      Here is a youtube video of a poor sailboat bucking in the surge.

      Subject: Nor’easter in St. Augustine
      Cruising News: The boat to the right in the video posted by Greg and Susan Han is our boat, the Ellen B. Our first night here was really tough… even snapped a line. Then the winds shifted to the east and it has been much calmer. That first night the winds were coming NNE. This has been a very damp visit to St. Augustine!
