FL to CT Day 10
Daytona Beach, FL to Palm Coast, FL
Another short day planned... stopping in Palm Coast to visit our friends Sarah and Phil... they are just off the ICW in Palm Coast and have invited us to stay on their dock. We left Daytona at approximately 1030
Weather was horrible with 20-30 knot winds and rain... some times heavy rain... was just nasty out... we were glad we did not have far to go.
Weather kept the boat traffic down to just a few crazy cruisers like ourselves...
We arrived to Sarah and Phil's dock at approximately 1445 only to find it under water... no way for us to dock and fend off... we moved out to the center of the basin and dropped the hook. We were securely anchored at approximately 15000... our position for the night N29°35.175', W081°12.415’. We traveled today for 4.5 hours covering 26.8 nautical miles averaging 6.0 knots.
We used the dinghy to get in to Sarah and Phil's house.... spend a nice afternoon and evening with them.
