New Smyrna Beach

Another beautiful sunny day as we pull away from the St Augustine
Municipal Marina and continue our journey south along the ICW. Since
today is Saturday, there are a lot of small boats out and we must move
fairly slowly.

We pass a couple who are undoubtably contemplating the value of good coastal navigation.

They didn't wave.

There are not any good anchorages in this stretch so About 5:00 we
pull up to a face dock at the Riverview Grill and Inn at New Smyrna
Beach.  We are very close to the Ponce de Leon inlet so the current is swift
and we need to set our lines securely.

After dinner we walk the short distance over to the ocean side. This
is one of the few beaches that still allows cars to drive onto the
beach.

Leaving the dock, we encounter a floating snack bar.

Of course, I wanted to tow it behind us.

And, a sailboat with really colorful sails - appeared to be a quiltwork of flags.
