Daytona Anchorage

​Current Location:  ICW MM 831, Daytona Anchorage, Daytona, Fl
Miles Traveled:  55
Weather:  Partly cloudy, strong winds from the south, low-80s
Highlights: Left the marina around 7:45 in order to catch the 8:30 opening of the Bridge of Lions, then motored down the ICW into strong headwinds most of the day.  Interesting stretch of the ICW, with big homes around St. Augustine, then fish camps and mangrove islands as we made our way south.  Big waterfront estates again as we motored past Ormond Beach and into Daytona.  Dropped anchor just south of the Memorial Bridge around 4:30.  Had some very strong thunderstorms with 40-knot winds roll through before dinner, but the anchor held nicely, and skies cleared just before sundown.  Raviolis with leftover fish for dinner tonight, then reading and light TV before turning in for the night.
