The Nina & Pinta

Today was our most beautiful day on the water so far. It was just a near perfect day to travel the ICW. The wind was SE at 5kts and the temps were in the low 80’s. We traveled 103 miles today in 5 hours from Vero Beach to New Smyrna Beach, FL. We saw lots of dolphins and manates on the water today in addition to lots of boats.

Around Titusville, FL just north of Cape Canaveral, we passed the replica sailing ships the Nina and Pinta from the days of Christopher Columbus. The two boats were in Vero Beach last night, but we did not get a chance to see them. But we were very lucky to see them on the water today and got to take some great pictures.

We got in today around 2:30 in the afternoon. We had one of our best meals tonight at a little dive called Yellow Dog. They had some of the best pulled pork I have had. Not to mention some killer deserts.

Here are a few pictures from the day. Tomorrow we will travel north another 50 miles back to Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, FL. We will spend Friday and Saturday at the resort. I think the family has this “chill-laxing” down to a science now.
