Arrived in St Augustine on he 19th to find a really nice condo 10 feet from the pool and 100 yards from the ocean. Much better setup than last year being in a much smaller development and on the ground floor. Sun all day as well. One drawback was that I discovered a flat tire on one of the bikes so had to walk on the beach with everyone else. It was a Sunday of a long weekend so it seemed crowded. The beach gets much wider as one goes south. Walked about a mile and saw this guy flying a model plane amongst the huge kits. Last year I discovered that flying a kite, while satisfying, is a bit like fishing without a hook. Not much to do. The guy's plane had about a 39 inch wing span and was made of foam. Very small electric motor [about the size of a AA battery] and a rechargeable battery [about the size of an old school pack of gum] that gave him more than 15 minutes of flying time. They are called "foamies" and here is his.
Here is a babe on met on my walk.
Can't wait to try the bike but the pool beckons.
