On to Daytona Beach

From Smyrna YC we headed to our last yacht club for a while, Halifax River YC in Daytona Beach.  The trip up this stretch was, as usual, full of wildlife both in the water and in the air.  This is such a nice stretch of the east coast and I'm glad we're taking the time to cover the inside route.  On the way home in the Fall, we'll probably be in more of a hurry and take the outside route for speed if not beauty.

This is a deceptive view of the entrance to the Ponce Inlet.  You see bigger
boats up in the area but beyond this point it is too shallow for us to use the inlet.

The historic lighthouse at the inlet.  No way to get there from here for a visit.

People take advantage of any available spit of sand to enjoy their time on the water.

Daytona Beach here we come!

There is about a 5-6 foot tide change and this shrimp boat seems to have
found the bottom at the dock.

This bridge used to be an opening bridge but a new 65 foot bridge is
under construction.  The hazard here is to watch out for the construction barges.
