Jacksonville to Daytona

Quite a different day! The promised storms have arrived and we leave at 7 am in the pouring rain. Thank God for our pilothouse!

What a day… John lost his hat in the channel so we turned around to rescue it. Successful rescue, but the we ran aground. Called Boat US for tow and got a $1400 estimate. Holy snikeys!! So we put our dingy in the water and managed to push ourselves off. Yay! Called off Boat US and upgraded our membership to include free towing.

Arrived in Daytona and at Halifax Marina. Dee and Roger picked us up and we had a fabulous dinner with the in New Smyrna Beach at a place called The Garlic. Met Jeff, the owner, who sat with us for half our evening. Food was amazing and the decor was so so eclectic and beautiful for Christmas. We’ve got to go there again!
