Daytona Beach, FL

02 May 2007
We are in Daytona Beach, Florida after a really long day preceded by a long day etc, etc. The last time we were here it was December and there was a winter storm blowing, it was freezing cold and boats were dragging anchor all over the place. Tonight there are 4 boats in the anchorage, the wind is calm and I think I am a little sunburned despite all the sunscreen I am using.

We saw many (I lost track of the count) manatees today and of course dolphin all over the place. At one time they surfaced right next to the boat and startled me! It is so nice to be back where there is wildlife like dolphin, fish and birds. We have enjoyed the Osprey and their nests with young in them. That is a treat!

Tomorrow we head to St. Augustine where we will spend a day or two depending on weather. It always depends on weather. But we are having a good time being warm and watching the beautiful homes go by. I keep wondering how there could be so many people with sooooo much money to pay for those mansions!
