Stuart to Daytona Beach

Another day running the ICW. We tried to run off-shore today. Initially we thought it looked good off-shore and we decided to run out the St Lucie Inlet. Once out the inlet, it was a bit more bumpy than we expected or cared to continue. Seas were about 3 to 5 feet on the nose with a short period. We quickly decided to just run up to the Ft Pierce Inlet and get back on the ICW. I think it was the right decision.

We made pretty good time all things considered. Other than some really skinny water around New Smyrna Beach, FL the trip on the ICW was very good. We ran 165 miles up to Daytona Beach, FL and are docked tonight at the Halifax Harbor Marina. The seas look pretty bad the next few days so we will continue our run north on the ICW.

We had some decent pizza tonight. Not great, but no bad either. As one of my school teachers would say... "even bad pizza is good". It was definitely not bad pizza. Fuel prices on the ICW continue to be very reasonable. We are averaging around $2.25 per gallon of diesel right now.

Check out this picture below. This was definitely a first for me... I was not sure what the correct passing signal was??
