dive into the brunch life with st. augustine sailing

April 12, 2022      3 Comments

The brunch life with St. Augustine Sailing is one of the greatest experiences the Ancient City has to offer. There is nothing quite like boarding a fully crewed catamaran, sitting back in the salt air, and toasting the day with a mimosa and gourmet meal. Let’s dive in!

Disclaimer: I was an invited guest on this brunch media tour. All opinions are my own.

Arriving At The Marina

From the moment we arrived at the Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor, our St. Augustine Sailing experience was top notch. On our walk to the vessel, our host pointed out all the different boats St. Augustine Sailing has available, from small sailboats for beginner lessons to large catamarans for private charters and luxury experiences. Each boat was beautiful and well-maintained, and I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried.

Welcome Aboard

Finally, we reached Wind Dancer, with Captain Chris at the helm.

Wind Dancer is a 40 foot catamaran, with room for six guests, and several crew members. There is a gorgeous outdoor dining and seating area, eat-in galley, three bedrooms and two bathrooms (overnight stays are available!). She is a beautiful ship, sleek and spacious. There is plenty of room to move around and explore, but it’s also perfect for sitting together and chatting with a drink in hand.

What Is Brunch Without Mimosas?

As soon as my feet hit the deck, there was a mimosa in my hand. Heaven. Brunch charters include mimosas and Bloody Marys made with sake instead of vodka (only beer or wine is served onboard). Both were perfect.

The chef had laid out several grazing boards for us. We could choose bagels and pastries with all the spreads, traditional cheeses and cured meats with crackers and nuts, and fruits and sweets. Everything was almost too pretty to touch, but oh, so good.

Additionally, chef had prepared Eggs Benedict with creamy hollandaise, asparagus, and sides of test crispest most perfect bacon ever.

Everything was served on china, with no detail overlooked. The experience was nothing short of decadent, in all the best ways.

Come Sail Away

Introductions made and drinks in hand, Captain Chris piloted us out of the marina and into the Intercoastal.

We spent the next two hours enjoying the absolutely glorious morning: blue skies, low humidity, and just enough sun. Wind Dancer made her way between the Vilano Bridge and Bridge of Lions, so we had plenty of time to soak in the views of the gentle waves, the waterfront residences, and historic downtown.

In between snacking and chatting, we explored the boat, from the quarters below, to the “trampoline” on the bow. It was such a magical way to spend a morning and I admit that future Tuesdays will be just a little less epic going forward.

Were there dolphins? Watch my Tik Tok to find out….

Consistency is critical for my sanity and I’m glad that it’s just this simple act of lacing up and laying it out on the pavement that keeps me going and grounded. 

Did you have a fantastic run today?

Get Your Flautas On at @TijuanaFlats! From now un Get Your Flautas On at @TijuanaFlats!

From now until April 9, you can choose from TWO kinds of crispy, cheesy, delicious flautas! Yum!

First up, Cheesy Steak Flautas are back! Marinated steak is the star of this show, with fajita peppers and onions, garlic lime sauce, and cheese! Top with pico de gallo and sour cream, and dunk them in  ooey gooey gold queso.

Not feeling steak? That’s ok! Try the Kickin’ Chicken Flautas! These flautas are stuffed with shredded chipotle chicken, fajita peppers and onions, spicy mayo and cheese. This variety comes with queso blanco, pico and sour cream, and of course, both varieties come with crispy seasoned chips!

Who’s heading to Tijuana Flats to get yours?

It started foggy but quickly gave way to sun and b It started foggy but quickly gave way to sun and blue skies. I’m not happy to feel the humidity again, but spring is right around the corner.

I love being able to get out first thing to fill my lungs with oxygen and enjoy that fresh air. It makes the rest of the day tolerable, no matter what comes at me.

Do you feel differently working out inside Vs outside? What do you prefer?

No puppy adventures today! Instead, it was a rain No puppy adventures today!

Instead, it was a rain-sprinkled walk, followed by lots of tidying up from our carpet install (over a week ago, but was NOT on the priority list), and tons of writing and catching up. 

It felt good to be back on track. At least a little. 

How was your Sunday?
