FL to CT Day 12
Titusville, FL to New Smyrna Beach, FL
Was very windy and noisy night on the mooring ball… winds were steady all night over 20 knots… checked several times and saw winds gusting to 28 knots… our bow line was singing all night long as it slipped side to side through the mooring’s painter line eye…. Neither of us or the dogs got a lot of sleep.
Wind did settle down a bit around sunrise to 15 to 20 knots out of the SW… with the SW wind we were in the lee of the land, so it was windy but not rough as it had been during the night with the SSE winds.
Dropped the mooring line at 0730 and we were underway north with a destination of New Smyrna Beach, FL. We had plans to meet our dear friends Charlotte and Peter Behr… we have not seen them since 2017… looking forward to catching up with them today.
We were secure for the night at New Smyrna Beach Marina at approximately 1145. Our position for the night is
N29°01.902’, W080°54.847'. We traveled today for 4.25 hours covering 28.34 nautical miles averaging 6.7 knots.
