November 7-8, 2011 Monday Tuesday St. Augustine to Daytona, FL

Great location and break wall

 We had a wonderful day motor sailing from St Augustine to Daytona.  After all the wind it was fun to be in the sunshine!  Many of the homes and break walls were quite striking while some were just over the top.  The power boaters send wakes that are harsh treatment for any break wall!  Residents here tend to spend a lot of money and energy to build lasting waterfronts.

 The motor sail to Daytona took most of the day.  Ed and Patty Ann were gracious hosts and we slept away from Fiu for the first time since Charleston.  We took a slip at Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona.  The price was right and the services were above average!  Ed met us at the Fiu (his boat is docked here) and he drove us to their condo at Ormond Beach .

 The surf has been rough and advisories warn against swimming and surfing!  The rip tides can be deadly!  This three week period of northeast winds has created high surf and many small craft advisories.  The beach is littered with seaweed!
Difficult to take a walk




I'm still waiting to get my "day at the beach!"  While some of the weather has been uncooperative we have had some fun and we did relax here on the beach for a short time!

End of a fine weather day!
