 Good morning

 My Captain!

 Soft sun rise

 Beautiful!

 Pelicans

Our mast is 62'....
wow just made it!

This guy was waiting for us on the other side!

This is the bridge we just went under at 62.5'

Gotta love the pelicans!

Something spooked the seagulls...

 Now anyone with half a brain

would not use this as a storage area,

would they!??!

 Watch out Gary they are gaining!

 That'll be me soon!

 I'd be getting a little nervous about high tide about right now....

 This is a walkway along the ICW called Palm Walkway

 It comes through the backyards of people houses

about a mile or so long....

 The house in the back which you can barely see is

just beautiful...Bob loves the dock area!

 I love the orange tree!

 There is a house behind these trees believe it or not

I took the picture for the trees, I think they are beautiful

 Is it possible to get home-owners insurance on a house on the

water??!!? If so, it will cost you many sweet pennies!

 Neither Bob nor I can figure out what this is??
Mike, from Illinois, said this was a trailer for a plane fuselage. 
Unload it, attach wings fly it. Might be a glider. Better ideas
than we came up with.  In fact, I'm not going to tell you what I
thought it was...silly me!

 Love these guys!

 High altitude Falcon!

 Yep, still here.  Still living aboard from what we can see....

 Another sailboat bites the dust....

 This is crazy....We are getting ready to go through a bridge on request

and they said OK but we are only opening one half span of it and that

will be the port side....we are like, great, but whatever....

 We get ourselves in position and then they open the starboard side!

 OK let's realign ourselves!

 Got it!  But still pretty nerve racking!

 I love this bridge! 

Anybody recognize this place? Gordon & Debbie?

This is where we dropped anchor today!

 Meet David and Paula! 

Gary and Jayne back together again!

 

Had a nice ride again today. We dropped anchor in Daytona around 2 p.m.  Gary & Jayne went into town to see about getting a slip for the season and then on to a friends house.  All 4 of them came back to the boat around 5 and Bob and I went over for Happy Hour and dinner.  Jayne gave me a really, really, nice racing jacket which I will use a lot.  I don't have many (one I think) zipper jackets.  It was a great happy hour, great meeting Paula and David, and great food!  Paula made a beer bread to die for!  In fact, Bob ate most of it...Paula already sent me the recipe and Bob's already asking me to make it!
