Days 199 & 200
We stayed an extra day at Daytona Beach to meet Dr. Lee Stuart, a veterinarian colleague of our son Michael's. We had gotten to know him a little through Facebook, but thought since he lives close by it would be nice to meet him face to face. He drove to the marina and we went to the nearby world famous "The Original Stavro's Pizza House" for lunch. I had read in our cruising guide that people stop at our marina just to go to this pizza house, and Dr. Stuart suggested it as well so we figured it must be good. It was. We had Greek salads (a small one is enough for two) and a pizza and it was worth the trip. Both Dr. Stuart and we forgot to take any pictures until we had gone our separate ways, so no pictures. We did enjoy meeting and talking to him.
We left Daytona Beach this morning after topping off our fuel since the best price we are likely to see until Georgia was at the Halifax Harbor Marina where we stayed. Kimi continued her dolphin and manatee hunting from the flybridge and stayed engaged even though we did not see near as many of either as we had the previous few of days. Below Kimi is hunting and Jake is saying, "Are we there yet?"
Finally St. Augustine came into view but since we had spent a week here at the municipal marina in November we decided to bypass the downtown area and continue on past the inlet to Camachee Cove Marina for the night. We enjoyed seeing the familiar sights as we passed the St. Augustine skyline, the Bridge of Lions, the Castillio de San Marcos, and the cross marking the site of the first Catholic Mass in the New World.
