Steve and Robin anchor Arabella at St. Augustine, Florida — which the video identifies as the oldest city and seaport in the United States, dating to the 1500s — while waiting five days for a haulout slot.2:06 They tour the Castillo de San Marcos, a fort built from coquina limestone beginning in 1672, and walk St. George Street's historic district.3:22 With days still to wait, they motor through the Lions Bridge drawbridge opening and anchor upriver for a quiet break before the boatyard.9:31 The haulout runs nine days, during which hull paint prevents any water discharge from the boat's sink.17:07 Steve announces that Puerto Rico is off the winter itinerary: a polar-vortex-pushed weather window and risk assessment made the passage inadvisable.11:49 The revised plan targets the Florida Keys — Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and potentially the Dry Tortugas — followed by the Ten Thousand Islands, Sanibel, Captiva, and the Okeechobee Waterway back to the East Coast.15:17 Steve and Robin also solicit t-shirt design submissions from viewers, seeking artwork built around phrases like "I remember when she was trees" and "came for the lead pour."18:11
