Daytona Beach, FL

 We were up early and had the anchor up with the sun.  (I know, doesn't look much different than the sunset...)

 

Lots of pretty vegetation with lots of palm trees.  Otherwise, the same ole strip of houses and docks along the waterway.

 

Several opening bridges, we didn't have to wait for a single one!   But this one was malfunctioning and only opened one side.   No problem but seemed a bit tight for us to fit thru.

 

And the final pucker-factor for the evening was a very high tide - this bridge was just 61' above the water.  And you know how high our mast is?  Yep, 61'.  We went under the bridge very, very slowly with no problem.

In the evening, we were treated to a SpaceX rocket launch!!  We could even hear the rumble of the engines!  (Although It did take a couple of minutes for the sound waves to actually reach us. Pretty cool.)






 

We'll be off first thing in the morning early for a long run down to Cocoa Beach.

  1. You are SO lucky. Every time we transit the Space Coast, I google to see if there is going to be a launch or splash down. No luck for us yet
