It was another great day in paradise! We had a short trip down to Palm Coast to visit an old boating buddy, John Frasier. We stayed at the Palm Coast Marina right off of the intracoastal waterway. John follows our blog and if we don't post in several days, we get a call! It was great to catch up.

We stopped in Ponce Inlet to visit with Bristol friends Bill and Rosemarie Englert. We stayed at the Adventure Yacht Harbor which is a small yard but good staff. Bill and Rosemarie took us out to a great sports bar/restaurant called the North Turn which was where the original Daytona races were when they included the beach as part of the race way.. Had a great time and caught up on Bristol.

Cocoa brings back memories of visiting my parents in Cocoa Beach in February of each year during school vacation. Met with old boating buddies from Mass. and now live in West Melbourne, Bob and Lois Hersey. Had a great visit and went to lunch on the river at the Sunset Grill.

Henry Flagler has built so much of the St. Augustine area as well as many other Florida areas. His Grand hotel that he built is now home of Flagler College.

We took a tour and wine tasting at the San Sebastian winery. The barrels here are actually their port wine which we of course felt obligated to purchase!

Wines being racked.

The walkways across the large vats under the walkway are made with barrel slates.

The entrance to Palm Coast Marina is right off the intracoastal.

There are a lot of condos with docks in the Palm Coast area along the waterway.

A couple of neat houseboats along the way.

Coming up on Daytona

Even the bridges in Daytona are special.

There were several camp grounds or fish camps along the way to Titusville. Waterfront living at a fraction of the cost!

At anchor in Titusville, we enjoyed a great steak dinner with a bit of Cabernet.
