We cruised from St. Augustine to Daytona, where we stayed at the Halifax River Yacht Club, guest of Carl and Susan’s friends and neighbors Ben and Marilyn. The trip was mostly through long, straight, narrow channels, but wider and deeper than those we experienced in North and South Carolina. Carl and his friend Vito picked us up, and we had dinner and spent the night at Carl and Susan’s beautiful home.
On Sunday, the four of us went to a Classic Car Show. Carl is interested in buying a Street Rod. We came back to Escapade, lounged around, read and took naps and, later, had drinks and appetizers on board Escapade when Ben and Marilyn arrived. We enjoyed dinner with them at the Yacht Club bar.
On Monday, we hung around, did a few errands and chores, and took naps. What a delightful day. This is what Ken wants to do when he retires!
For those interested in our weather; It was a bit cooler on Saturday, with Highs and Lows of 68 and 53, skies were overcast with no rain. Sunday was a beautiful clear day with a high of 76 and a low of 45. Monday, the high was 74 and the low was 65 with a few afternoon drizzles. We’ll be leaving for ports further south in the morning.
