Cold? Heck no I’m freezing. What a change. It was 58F at 0600. Forecast is for 80F today, but we start out in long pants and sweatshirts. Winds are cranking out of the North and right on our nose. No sailing today. Our destination now is New Smyrna or Daytona. As we passed the Titusville moorings, we spotted “El Lobo” and tried to call our friend Bill on the radio. He was either asleep or his radio was not on. Bet he had a rough night on that ball.

We buck the wind and tide at Ponce Inlet, but we trudge on to Halifax Harbor in Daytona. Being its Sunday, this is a hazardous boating section as all the locals decide to call it a day and head home at max speed and no courtesy whatsoever. It’s a relief to exit the ICW for the marina.

We take a slip and enjoy the first shore power we have had since last November. Donna used the microwave to make short work of dinner preparation. It was however, another “blanket” cool night.
