To Daytona Beach,
Florida
 Many times we have said to fellow
sailors and heard it said to us - Fair Winds and Following
Seas so it was really nice to leave Titusville Marina with this sign
at the exit
        We soon passed a huge trailer park and being the weekend the ICW was busy with all sorts of traffic including a
'One Careful Owner' and a real houseboat
 Marker 25 had its
own pointer atop showing us the way
       Nice houses, people
chillin' on Saturday, having fun, big engines and a spot of fishing
  This lady passing by very fast gave us
a good wiggle - how will we ever forget Rita -
shouldn't be using her scale on the ICW
    A couple of chaps
overhead watching the fun
  One chap took ages organising his catch to be able to swallow it
whole.......
 Our favourite fishing boat complete
with 'granny bar'...............
      and finally on to Daytona. I fiddled
this afternoon with my camera - to test a new group of settings. I
took the shot of the paraglider, then the block of flats, zoomed from 80mm to 200mm then in to 400mm
to get the man on his balcony. Primarily shooting birds I have always been set
to 51 3D points of focus so all I have to do is track the bird in the viewfinder
and let the camera do the rest. I have tightened to 9 points of focus,
centre-weighted so I have to get objects in a tighter area in the middle on
my viewfinder, rather like shooting a gun rather than if the bird is in the
screen that will do. Reckon I'll leave it to my new settings.
  We anchored far left of the
left picture (waterway seen as a big river) The seaside view of Daytona Beach seen in all the holiday brochures
 We nestled for the night just off the
main channel, really quiet for such a big place
ALL IN ALL A FUN
DAY
