Hi All,
Big doings in St Augustine today. Re-enactors in authentic uniforms and period dress filled the streets. In spite of sporadic rain we shared a great day with a group of Fort Caroline volunteers.
Our ranger, Craig Morris supervised the loading and firing of the Castillo cannon.
Along the sea wall, volunteers set up four cannons to fire
The Spanish crew,
irregular British artillery
regular British artillery
and another crew of irregulars ( locals helping the British).
Before our ears recovered from the cannon, we watched the musket demonstration.
This was all great fun, capped off by the fife and drum corps.
Can't wait to fire the Fort Caroline cannon.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
