OUR ADVENTURE TO STUART, FL

Those are not rain clouds. Just started out hazy,
turned out to be a very hot day.

We have provisioned for the week, parked the car under a security camera, got a pump out, “test drove” the boat yesterday and left this morning at 9am. We have made it all the way to Daytona Beach and decided not to anchor which is really a blessing as the bottom here is muddy. I would have had to hose down the anchor tomorrow after getting it up. We are staying at the Halifax Harbor Marina and today have the air conditioner on!! It is very warm and humid today but a great day for travelling. It was actually quiet on the ICW. I thought with it being Saturday many locals would be out and about but that was not the case.


Our dinghy hanging from our davit.
Fits perfectly.

We do have to watch the water as there are crab pots and the odd dock floating along. A sailboat in front of us may have hit a manatee, he radioed us that he had hit something. Who knows. We followed this sailboat for a few miles as we needed 2 bridge openings and so does he.

A floating dock, with ladder and everything.
Last night I took a picture of the sun setting where we dock at the St. Augustine Marine Center. It was nice as there is a super tall tree. It reminds me of a rain forest and the life in the one tree is amazing.
