From Vero Beach, we put in a long day and anchored in the NASA Causeway. Since a cold front was forecast with high winds and thunderstorms for the following 2 days, we raised the anchor early the following morning. By midday winds were gusting to 30 mph. and we were trying to duck a thunderstorm. We called and made reservations to spend two nights at Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona Beach to wait for the front to pass. When we docked winds were 20-25 mph. When we arrived at the marina, they assigned us to a T head slip, as we had requested, and a dock hand was waiting to handle our lines. We congratulated ourselves on a good job docking and rewarded ourselves with a great pizza at a nearby restaurant. We also took the opportunity to change engine oil and use their laundry facilities to wash some rugs while we were there. Not fun, but necessary. Saw a Manatee swimming around the marina.
Although the Bridge of Lions at St. Augustine had limited openings of the waterway, because a new bridge is under construction , we were able to get through the bridge without a delay. We arrived at our anchorage at about 5:30 pm. Eight other boats were already anchored but we squeezed in. Dinners and showers and we are ready for bed after a long day.
