Daytona Marina

 Up while it was still dark, we were able to leave before sunrise.






With our destination 48 miles away we were happy to have a bit of wind.  Raising the sails saved us a couple hours and we arrived just after 230pm.  The ride was quiet with little traffic until just south of Ponce Inlet.

My favorite spot is Haulover Canal.  A pleasant Bridge Master, a mild current, lots of wildlife - dolphins, pelicans - and polite fishermen and kayakers.  


                                        I think this house boat was a DIY!







Just after docking against the wall in Daytona Marina, we were visited by this cutie!  I named him Tommy Two Tone.  He found something yummy to lick off the underside of the sugar scoop!



A very quick storm here at Daytona Marina.
                                                                            631pm

                                                                            738pm

The plan - complete some repairs before we head to St Augustine for haul out during hurricane season.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.
