Leg 3 - Stuart, FL to St. Augustine, FL

We are delaying the start of this leg until Wednesday, pushed back another day because of the winter weather passing through the Southeast United States. Will will meet up in St. Augustine where George will leave his car and then drive to Stuart in the Suburban with Pam and Brandy after lunch at The Gypsy Cab Company. Peter plans to take 6 - 7 days to cover this leg of the trip: 217.5 statute miles.

The weather south of Vero Beach, this time of year, averages mid 70s / mid 50s while north of Vero is usually 8+/- degrees cooler.

The makers indicate possible overnight anchorages depending on progress and side-trips.

The red line is our course northbound on the Florida portion of the Atlantic ICW. Peter will keep ALEXANDRA at the Conch House Marina, St. Augustine until April. Possible day trips are planned out of St. Augustine.

This image shows Leg 1 (Tarpon Springs to Fort Myers Beach), Leg 2 (Fort Myers Beach - Naples - Stuart), the current Leg and Leg 4 (St. Augustine to Hampstead - Peter's Home).
Leg 4 is planned for the beginning of April.
