The Amelia Island (Florida) Sailing Club held their annual St. Augustine Cruise over Labor Day Weekend. Ten boats made the cruise with our Hunter 340 (Klose Quarters 3)and Susan and Gary Mitchell's Hunter 420 (Traveler) included. My wife Susan and I left Friday morning at 6:00 AM and enjoyed a pleasant downwind ocean sail arriving in St. Augustine at 3:30 pm and anchoring off the fort (Castille San Marcos). We enjoyed a pleasant evening and proceeded to the municipal marina on Saturday morning to enjoy the comradary of our club. After and ejoyable snf food filled weekend the club left early Monday morning for the return trip. Nine of the ten boats (including Klose Quarters 3) opted for the ocean with a SW wind. Late afternoon thunderstorms harrased the fleet, but all returned safely and look forward to our millenium St. Augustine cruise.
