Another fine day on the ICW. The nice thing about Florida is that for every mile you go North or South it is nearly a full mile in that direction. Thus a 50 mile day is another 50 miles north where in Georgia you go only about one third the total distance traveled.
We left early this morning – m7am expecting to get to Daytona around 4 – 5pm. Well we had a GREAT following wind through the Mosquito Lagoon that powered us along at 7 kts at time. We entered an anchorage near R44 in Daytona at 2:30pm. WOW a great day.
Hey and the gang is all here!! It is a large pool here that accommodated the complete Canadian Contingent, ourselves and other boats. Try it some time when passing through Daytona.
Be forewarned that the holding is excellent mud yet the vagaries of wind and current have the boats going in all different directions. A bit disconcerting but no pesky tugs on the hook.
Tonight with so much time on our hands we plan to play Euchre with Celtic Cross. Should be fun.
Last night we had everyone aboard for drinks in snacks and it was a great time. Everyone enjoyed the conversation and time spent. We plan to all arrive in St Augustine tomorrow and stay for Easter – Hopefully we can finds a nice restaurant to feed us all – I don’t think anyone will want to cook for Easter.
Last night was a very nice evening in Titusville. Another clear sky and a HUGE moon rising over Cape Canaveral. Should be interesting here tonight.
