Plan A was to leave Daytona Beach, go offshore at Ponce Inlet for an overnight run to Ft. Pierce.
Plan B was to just “go” and stay on the inside on the ICW which means a few more days before hitting Ft. Pierce.
Due to choppy conditions offshore caused by the recent front that passed through we opted for Plan B rather than Plan C which was waiting in Daytona for calmer water and continued good weather.
Plan B also gives us the opportunity to consider this a shakedown trip to be sure all the systems are working well before we venture far off shore.
So, now we are calling this first part of the journey – the “Dining Cruise” as we plan our favorite restaurant stops along the way.
First stop – New Smyrna Beach. Yes this is literally just down the road about 15 miles – and yes we are stopping there first – we still like low stress travel and it makes sense when planning the next couple of days distances. And the restaurant has an awesome vegetable pasta dish Christina enjoys and $5 margaritas.
The best part – regardless of being on the outside or inside WE ARE ON THE WATER and MOVING!!! Yay!
It feels great to be back onboard Dreamtime.
