THE constant -stream of motor launches: arriv- 
ing at St. Augustine, Fla., is an indication to 
the natives of that section that cold weather is 
driving the Northern yachtsmen South. 
Every year this migration increases, the North- 
erners cruise and hunt in the many creeks and 
bays. The new inland waterway along the new 
east coast canal will open up, a broader field 
for these pleasure seekers, and this year promises 
now to be a record breaker. 
RRe
