St. Augustine, Florida

Tour boat and a fort at St Augustine

You head towards the mouth of the St Augustine inlet before turning north on the ICW

Lighthouse on the ocean side of the barrier island


Ever present dolphin
 
Our VERY unscientific observation is that the dolphin on the ICW behavior is different than what we observed in the Gulf on Mexico. On the Gulf, the dolphin came up to the boat, surfed on the bow wake, and would turn and seemed to make eye contact with you. They were generally in larger groups. Here on the ICW, they are in smaller groups and as you see in the pictures, they surface a few times and then dive. They get our attention when one jumps. Interesting.
