9/20/15: Beach Marina, Jacksonville Beach, Fl – Daytona Beach Anchorage = 72.3 NM

When we left Green Cove on Tuesday 9/15 the weather looked good. Two hours into our trip the wind picked up to around 15- 20 Knots and there were a few rain showers. Our plans to anchor out at St. Augustine changed to docking at Beach Marina, Jacksonville Beach, Fl.  The weather prediction went from bad to worse keeping us at the dock for 5 days.

On Sunday 9/20 the weather had cleared and we threw off the dock lines. We don’t typically like to travel on the weekends because of local boat traffic but forged ahead.

Apparently it was ‘take your dog out on the water day’.

Two dogs - I hope they can swin

We made it a long day and continued onto our favorite anchorage in Daytona Beach. All in all the day turned out to be a great day on the water.

The anchorage served both a beautiful sunset and sunrise.

Tomorrow we will continue south.
