Happy Birthday Bob C. Daytona Florida 29◦10'.539N 80◦59'.669W

Today was a cool day, starting at 54F and warming up to 64F. This would be the first time we wore long pants and long sleeve shirts in a few months. In speaking with Liane tonight, I found out it was -8C so still not complaining! We took off from Canaveral around 7am and made it all the way to Daytona (by boat this time) by 4pm. It was much faster in the Camaro! Along the way we saw many Dolphines, Manatees and a rose coloured bird called Roseat Spoonbill, I think.

 I would never have seen them at all if it was not for Susan's eagle eye.  I was busy all day completing tax returns in the am and translating another chapter of a book about the "Great Loop" in the pm. Susan called us on the radio to alert us to all the sights along the way, so I would not miss any. God bless that girl! The birds are magnificent indeed. 




We were certainly not the only snow birds heading North either. Our trip today was through the Intracoastal Waterway and we were a whole line up of boats coming up. 








When we arrived at our anchorage, we were only about 1 mile away from "Blue Moon", "As the crow flies" and "Wild Raven" so we dingyed out to their marina for happy hour.










King and Sharon hosted tonight and what wonderful hosts they are.













Margaritas abounded and every glass was salted to perfection. After a couple of hours of chatting and laughing, "Perfect Balance" and "Gran Vida" came back to our boats for a late dinner. 

Tomorrow we are aiming for St-Augustine and looking forward to an early afternoon arrival to enjoy the sights and sounds.
The title for tonight is the last of a string of B-days in birthday season. My brother Bob is celebrating his ??'th. Wish I was there with you guys. We now get a short reprieve until early May that is. Hey a month is a month!

Good night all.
