Around 3 (eastern time) Ken reported that they were docked in Daytona Beach having cleared the Matanzas shoaling area without incident.
At 11:30 yesterday morning Ken reported that it was around 50 degrees and sunny. They went under the bridge with an opposing current of 5.6 knots at 15 degrees to their bow. They reach St. Augustine and spent the night there Friday night. Ken and Gay usually compare most "resort" type towns to places we are familiar with in Colorado, so the following is Ken's report of the last two ports:
Fernandina Beach is a lot like Boulder or Carbondale , CO . Very folksy and exuding tons of upscale charm. St. Augustine was more like Aspen – good restaurants, super high end shopping and art galleries, interspersed with the usual touristy places. The municipal marina in St. Augustine is simply spectacular.
Mark and Sarah will head for the airport tomorrow to return to Oriental. Ken will stay in Daytona Beach to work on the radar and wait for Gay to join him in a few days.
