NASA Causeway Bridge – Daytona Beach, March 29

We got underway about 7:30 this morning. We traveled through one of the most beautiful areas so far this trip. These are pictures of the Haulover Canal, with the bridge at the far end. The pictures don’t do the area justice. There were many people fishing, one man was getting ready to fish from an overhanging limb of a tree.





The ICW was very narrow. Notice the birds
standing in the water, only about 30 yards to
our right.














Instead of a car drive through for McDonalds, we found a boat drive through. Pull up right alongside it, place your order and get your food!

We saw many dolphin today. Unfortunately they didn’t stay long enough for Beth to get pictures.

We had current going with us for a time. What a change! We were going 8.7 mph for a while. Then back to regular speeds.

Darrell did some more work again today while we were underway.

When we got to the Daytona Beach area the boat traffic really picked up. They were also going pretty fast so we had an uncomfortable ride at times. We don’t know if there’s heavy traffic because it’s Saturday, or because it’s still Spring Break for some.

Stopped for the day just north of the dual Seabreeze Bridges in Daytona Beach. Anchored at about 3:30 p.m.
