Daytona, FL

We cruised to Daytona on Monday, April 23 leaving at 7 a.m. to avoid the storms that were forecasted for later in the day.  We passed through some lovely undeveloped areas on the ICW. 

 and even encountered a pod of dolphins who followed us for awhile.  

We also passed the picturesque Ponte Inlet Lighthouse.

Arriving in Daytona at 12:50, we docked at the Halifax Harbor Marina.  We were able to stay there for free because our friend Carol gifted it to us after she won a free night’s dockage as a raffle prize at the MTOA Rendezvous.  Because it continued to threaten rain, we stuck close to Zendo and did boat chores that afternoon. We did manage to walk the docks at the large marina where there were several beautiful wooden sailboats (Tatyana 37s) that we admired and we enjoyed chatting with an owner of one of them.
