Wow! The people who live here take it for granted, but we were thrilled that we could see the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch today. I was standing on the bow of Andiamo and the video is a little shaky.
Following the navigation markers from New Smyrna Beach (NSB) to Palm Coast, we saw a beautiful catamaran grounded between navigation markers, good thing we are only 2.5 feet. Fortunately, they grounded at low tide and as the tide rose, they were able to float off the sandbar and continue their journey. We met the owners tonight, a family of five that have been cruising the Caribbean for the past year and are on their way home. They have lots of stories to tell their friends and family.
Coming into the Marineland Marina this afternoon was challenging, the wind was at twenty-five knots and the current was pushing us sideways, but the dock master was there to take our lines and all went well.
See you on the water!
