November 20, 2007 - New Smyrna, FL



This was a day to cruise the ICW (or the inside route) as we left St. Augustine heading for New Smyrna. Today's run was just under 60 nautical miles. It seemed like the tide was running against us for the whole trip. We noticed the south Florida characteristic of condos lining the land between the ICW and the ocean. The weather was hot and sunny; at lunch time we unfurled the bimini top so we would have shade on the flybridge. When it was cooler, we had rolled it up for the welcomed warmth of the sun.



Once we dropped the anchor, we adjourned to the flybridge for our evening cocktail and the beautiful view. Standing, are our good friends Carl and Nancy Meyers, who joined us at Hilton Head and will be with us through Thanksgiving. We are going to attempt to BBQ half a turkey on our new grill. Stay tuned for the outcome......
