Description:
The story of the Raintree Restaurant in St. Augustine reads a little bit like a romantic novel.
On the thirtieth of March, 1979, the MacDonald family, consisting of father and mother, Tristan and Alex, and son Gaere, and daughter, Lorna, left England in their 45-foot yacht, Intsholo III, bound for the U.S.A., just as their countrymen had done in the seventeenth century, and for just about the same reason. They felt frustrated and restricted by high taxation that limited their ambitions and sought a new country in which to realize their dreams. Hence, they sold everything, business, house, cars and most of their furniture and said goodbye to Europe and their friends.
