So, onward North in the afternoon.  The landscape changed from Marsh and Mangrove intermittently with houses dotting a section then nothing but short shrubs and more lowlands.

Landscape to the port side

Landscape on the starboard side

“Active Captain” warned that there was a hazard approaching.  A sunken boat and although it was out of the channel be aware incase the current moved it.  So, with anticipation and my binoculars I spied:

Sunken boat or Power Pole?

This can’t be the sunken ship.  It is at the wrong mile marker.  As we passed it, we realized it was a power pole.  Oh my!!  It is leaning over and looked like it was still functional.  Hmmm who gets to repair that when it finally succumbs to the water gods?

Turned over boat

Ah ha!!  This was the overturned boat.  There were a couple other small sail boats guarding it.  It looks like it is well out of the channel.  No problem for us!

How about this pretty boat?  An actual fishing Trawler.  Of course, it isn’t catching anything if it is sitting in port.  Looks nice, tho.

The weather stayed cool and cloudy most of our trip to Daytona Beach, FL.  It looks like rain up ahead several times but we never had any hit our boat this time.

Rain in the distance.

As we were getting close to Daytona Beach, we noticed something in the sky up ahead.

Goodyear Blimp

The Goodyear Blimp??  Whatever for??  Right!!  The Daytona 500 was supposed to be this weekend.  Ahhhh….  I tried to get a picture of the 4 planes off in the distance pulling banners behind them but the picture didn’t look very good.  We couldn’t read the banners but we watched the planes go back and forth pulling the banners, the blimp circling around, and airplanes taking off from the airport.  All in the same relative air space.  Wow!

We arrived at our destination around 4pm.  A long day.  Time for rest and relaxation.
