Winnie the Pooh: Fernandina Beach to Palm City, FL

This week the wind continued to be robust; it didn't affect our travels in this part of Florida ICW, but at the end of the day we took time to find a more protected anchorage. Our anchor was fouled on a chain/rope ball as we departed Fernandina Beach on Monday morning. It took us 30 minutes to get the chain off the anchor and cut the rope off. Not a fun way to start the day, but fortunately the rest of the day went smoothly. We dropped anchor at St. Augustine's Salt Run in the early afternoon and settled in for a windy night of NW 25-30.

Tuesday brought us to Daytona Beach, another short and easy day on the waterway. The only exception was the Volusia County Sheriff was conducting potti patrol in the area and boarded every boat that passed by.
Mark's Mom and Dad came to see us at Daytona Beach on Wednesday with several care packages of goodies, homemade brownies, pecan tarts, and magazines, etc. We went out for lunch, walking on the beach and grocery shopping. A busy day that went by fast, and as always we felt so loved.

We left Daytona Beach early Thursday with plans to get to Cocoa to meet our friends Evelyn and Mike for dinner. All went well and we had a nice evening together with great Mexican food and catching up.

Things that entertain us
Friday was another breezy day. We ended the day in the safe harbor of Faber Cove at Ft. Pierce. We traveled a short distance on Saturday and came to our friends Gina and Eric's dock at Palm City in the early afternoon. That night Gina prepared a delicious dinner to welcome us back. On Sunday they invited a group of friends over for a music party. The food, refreshments and music started at 2 PM, with guitars and banjo playing, people singing; the food changed from appetizers to dinner then desserts, 25 people, had a wonderful time until 10:30 PM.
