Daytona Beach!!!

Captain's Log:  A bit chilly as we left St. Augustine this morning.  Yea, yea, we know it is colder in Minnesota.  That's why we left.  Good news was the day slowly warmed up and by the time we reached Daytona Beach about 2:30 Eastern Time is was very pleasant.

In fact, Melissa took advantage of the Florida sun after we were secured in our slip.

We are staying in Halifax Harbor Marina.  Tons of boats.  Missy and I are getting better at docking.  She is more proficient with getting lines and bumpers positioned and I am getting more confident maneuvering the boat.  It is so much fun to work together on this adventure!!!!






Now that we are in Florida there are more and more bridges and it won't let up until we pass Miami.  We are also traveling with a lot more cruisers.  We must have passed 10 sailboats today.

With December 1st just hours away it is evident that Christmas is just around the corner as boaters prepare for the holiday.

We bet Josh would like hanging out on this boat.

One boater did not have a good day today. This poor bloke ran aground just north of Daytona Beach.  The boat on the right is trying to pull him to deeper water.





First Mate's Log:   Today was chilly but very sunny, low wind, calm waters and lots of interesting scenery. This evenings musing of the First Mate ~ A "current" event on water is vastly different than the elementary school class :)
My photo journal is entitled, "Bridges are Bitchin'" - cause they are!
