In Over Their Heads?

Today was the "boat ride" day. And fishing. We fished. I fished. I've fished a lot here. Never caught anything, but I've fished a lot. Well, anyway, we launched the boat at the lighthouse, "Salt Run", it's called. Used to be the inlet until they plowed the new one through at Vilano. We had the bimini top up most of the way, out Salt Run to St. Augustine, old town, then out the inlet about a mile off shore. Then we came back in and up the Tolomato River (intracoastal) a few miles. We wanted to eat at Cap's but they aren't open for lunch until Friday. We rode back to town and put in at the city docks. Everyone was getting hungry so we walked into town and ate at the sandwich shop in Casa Monica. When we got back to the boat we decided to go South and went as far as the 206 bridge. I figured that was far enough for the day and headed back towards town. We decided to put the top down and get a little sun.

I'm not sure which one decided it had gotten hot enough to jump in but about the time we got back to town it was decided.

After many individual and dual dives in they decided that a group jump was needed.

A couple of other interesting things happened today. We passed two men and two young boys in a boat who were in trouble. They'd been fishing. Their motor laid down on them so we towed them in to where they had launched. After that I spotted a really nice cruiser putting along toward town so I decided I would speed up and check out their ride. About the time we got pretty close up behind them they noticed us and laid the coals to it. They ate our lunch. We caught up to them near the city docks which is where the diving started. Oh, by the way, there were many dolphin (Flipper-type) where the girls were diving so they figured they had been "swimming with the dolphins".
