Fernandina Beach to Daytona Beach, FL


The above picture is worth 1,000 words!  Since we arrived in sunny Florida we have enjoyed the coldest weather since I left Cape Cod.  For the last 3 days the wind has been strong out of the north west 15 to 20 with gust 25 to 30.  Today we arrived in Daytona Beach early so we could do some site seeing.  There was an arts festival in the old town section that has been restored, very nice.  Yesterday we went past St. Augustine but didn't stop, but should have.  I was pushing to head south to find some heat.  After St. Augustine we had the current against us, so our progress slowed to as slow as 2.5 kn over the bottom even though my knot meter read 5.5 kn. Despite the slow progress we did make our goal of Palm Coast, FL.  The pictures are of St. Augustine, from the water, and Daytona Beach.

  2. Weather here is even worse than yours so be glad with that thought. Checked the house cause of the wind, it's OK. The Palm trees look happy.
