We’re up early so we can have breakfast and be at the fuel dock about 0630. We took on fuel and departed the fuel dock at 0650. Destination today is an anchorage near Daytona Beach.
The wind piped up and the anchorage candidates seemed iffy so we opted for a marina tonight. We stopped at the Halifax Harbor Marina just past the Memorial Bridge in Daytona. We traveled 54 miles arriving about 1630. All three boats are on the T-head of J-dock. It has been a glorious day weather wise, however the trip was tiring and boring at times. There appears to be lots of open water here, but the problem is that you are stuck in a small channel with about 9’ of water and there is lots of water on either side that is only 1-3’ deep.
We have cocktails and noshes for everyone on our boat tonight. Larry and Judy decide to go to a restaurant for dinner while the rest of us have dinner on our own boats. Donna and I cooked steak on the grill.
Buddy jumped ship when everyone was leaving Ninkasi. Fortunately we found him several finger piers up from us. He was trying to board a big powerboat named “Top Cat”. Traitor!
Location: Halifax Harbor Marina, Daytona Beach, FL at ICW MM 831. Today’s progress: 53 Statute Miles
