Anchorage Daytona

View from anchorage of Daytona
It was a hazy day but we think this is the second shuttle on the pad ready for take off


Said goodbye to friends and family and headed north. VAB building--missed the shuttle launch on May 12--heard there were a lot of clouds masking the shuttle. We saw it at the Villages!

Mooring Ball, Vero Beach Muni Marina

We hooked up to a mooring ball at the Vero Beach Municipal Marina. This is our most desireable way of spending the night - secure on a mooring ball and no hassle with the anchor or tying up to a fixed dock and hooking up power lines.

Return to US

The pictures really do not depict the number of boats and people.
Culture shock as we turned the corner coming in the cut from the ocean. There were at least a 1000 boats and many more people at Peanut Island just inside the cut at West Palm
