It’s a good thing I had planned a no paddle day for today. A front came through with sustained winds around 30 and gusts up to fifty. Not good for paddling ?. No worries since I was a tourist today. Gus came by and picked me up and our first visit was to the lighthouse. 
There were a lot of steps to get to the top but we made it ?. No hats on top or you would lose them. ?
I’ll be going under this bridge and heading north in the morning. 
Next stop was the Castillo De San Marco. 
The history of the fort is really interesting. Then we walked through the old part of town and over to the west end of the Lions Bridge. 
After a great shrimp lunch I was back at the hotel and Gus was headed home. The wind was really starting to howl as I was hanging out by the water when the main front was coming through. 
I’ve got my laundry done and groceries loaded. Just a little stowing of gear in the morning and getting the kayak down to the water and I’ll be headed north again.
That’s it for today.
Happy Paddling.
