GL: St. Augustine Inlet

[Capt. Charles Richter]

Hi Bob & Judy,

The STA has been fine the last few times I have used it.  The markers
were on station and the water depth was good.  Be careful when you get
to the intersection with the ICW it can be a little confusing stay on
the ocean side of the red which appears directly in front of you on the
way in at the west end of the inlet.  I believe the last inlet buoy is
red 10 any reds after that should stay to your west.

Safe voyage.

Captain Charles Richter

Am thinking about going outside to from St. Augustine Florida to the St.

Johns River or Cumberland Sound in order to bypass the bridge work that 
is currently holding up boats transiting the ICW at mile 748 - 
Jacksonville Beach.

Has anyone used the St. Augustine Inlet recently? Did the markers seem 
to be in the correct location? Did you follow someone with local
knowledge?
