New Crew, Turkey and Moving On
New crew, Frank, was dropped off in St Augustine yesterday by Maryellen, whom we will pick up in Stuart on Monday. Sorry, no pics - will have to get some for next blog. After lunch Maryellen drove back to Stuart and Frank and I wandered around town looking for a pub. We kinda failed! I know there are several there but somehow they eluded us. We couldn’t get a Guinness but got a stout in a place claiming to be a pub. It had dartboards on the wall so I guess it counts as a pub!
Temps this morning were in the low 40’s with wind from the north. Fortunately I think it got up to 60 by the time we arrived in Ponce Inlet (it’s between Daytona and New Smyrna Beach). It was a mostly uneventful day…but we did have to get 2 bridges to open for us - the bridge tenders were very pleasant.
We are at the Inlet Harbor Marina, where after I paid, I was disappointed to learn that their heads/showers were destroyed by hurricane Milton. I really think I should have been told that when I made the reservation! There also should have been a discount on the price ($2.75/ft).
I was not, however, disappointed by the sunset.
Dinner at Off the Hook next to Marina was good - we both had shrimp with rice and sausage.
This was an unexpected surprise!
Early to sleep tonight after dinner, hope to be on our way by 7:30 tomorrow. Long haul to Melbourne.
