Daytona Par Deux

Ok we're back down in Daytona only by boat this time.

Who turned off the heat darn it? I don't care if it's 9 in Ak, you folks like it that way up there. It was 38 F this morning. What a change from 65 at night for the last several days. I guess we happened to pick the best time to stop at St. Augustine. Yesterday we worked on the boat and took care of errands.
We had a slight issue with one of the enclosure panels. It looked to me like it was not sewn. So we took it to Cooper's Canvas in St. Augustine and he repaired it for free! Next it was time to change the oil so we took the boat out and ran her up to warm the oil and then pulled it all. The marina even had oil disposal facilities. Thank you Camachee Cove Marina! Even free car usage three times!!
I found a loose transmission fitting and tighted that up also.
Then it was on to lunch at The Reef where we had the best Conch Fritters we have ever had in the States. The ocean view at this place was terrific and watching the pelicans skim the crest of waves flying in formation was fun.
Some more driving around looking at the sights, and then early to bed since we woke at 5:00 am today.
And here we are at Adventure Yacht Harbor.

The safe arrival cocktail is down that hatch and it's time to walk to the ocean. Pix coming soon the gps data is loaded.
