Torn away from Palm Coast
30 November 2009 | Daytona - Seven Seas Marina
This was a quickie overnight stop to set our arrival time at the Riverview at slack tide, roughly 1:40 pm. Seven Seas is a small DIY marina in Daytona that is a bit of a bear getting into with 45'. We were assigned an inside slip with very little room to swing to starboard. I have much more control to port using the prop draw in reverse. I aborted our first attempt when the dock hand missed the bowline toss and had to back out the narrow channel all the way to the main channel to recover and reset the lines. The second attempt went well and we were secure for the night. I checked with the office to see if they could haul us for the January repairs - no good, too big for their travel lift. Oh well, there are more yards ahead of us.
