Oct 23, 2008/Oct 24, Thursday & Friday






Left this morning around 8:30 from Jacksonville and arrived in Palm Coast Marina in Palm Coast, Flordia around 4:30. It is a true paradise here. It is the nicest marina we have stayed at yet. The winds were tenacious today and thankfully we were greeted at the dock by a crowd of fellow boaters eager to help us dock in such windy conditions. We met Barbara and her husband who were sailing on the ICW. Barbara gave me great input about the different stops in Florida and where to go. She suggested the European Village just five minutes down the road. I took her advice and we headed for the Mezalunna pizzaria there for dinner that night. We ate at Barbara Jean's restaurant the next day for lunch and visited some of the specialty shops.
We also met Joanne and Bob Updegrave. They also are traveling to Marathon, Florida. We had hordeurves and drinks on the back of their boat the following evening.
We stayed at Palm Coast for two days due to the rainy weather. Not too much fun to travel in the rain.
Happy Boating until my next post.
