Had a beautiful start to the morning headed to Daytona. We left at 7:30 AM under sunny skies. About 2 hours south we ran into sea fog at Matanzas Inlet. It came on suddenly and was awful . Sometimes we could see nothing. There were 2 sailboats a ways behind us and 2 up ahead. We chatted on the VHF and kept each other abreast of conditions and visibility. We all went very slowly and were guided by our chart plotters. This event lasted about 45 minutes. The sun finally won out and the fog cleared.
We stayed at the Halifax River Yacht Club tonight. It is a reciprocal club to the Coconut Grove Sailing Club that we joined. They welcomed us warmly. Today was their Changing of the Guard. We arrived just in time to see all the fanfare and festivities for this event. All were dressed in blue and white, nautical flags on the boats, cannons, etc.
Of course, we finished off the afternoon with an hour walk around town. Ever since I got my Garmin VIVOFIT for my birthday, I feel compelled to get in my 10,000 steps in a day....doesn't always happen :-( Downtown Daytona is a good place to walk!
