Leaving Aunt Aggie in Daytona for a month.

We walked into New Smyrna Beach on Friday evening and ate pork nachos at Yellow Dog Eats.  That was an original dish, and we loved it.  The nachos were billed as an appetizer, but it was enough yumminess for dinner.

Here is the scene behind the boat this morning.  As dawn arrived, there were tons of pelicans and
cormorants splashing down behind Aunt Aggie.  Maybe fish had entered the marina with the wind?

We saw an open weather window and decided to motor 16 miles north to Daytona today, so we could see our friends, Judy Schwarz and Hugh Saxon.  It was a good plan.  We had smooth waters and no rain and an easy trip to Halifax Marina.  Hugh, Judy and their family, Tony and Beth, came to Aunt Aggie and took the tour.  It is always fun to show off the boat and answer questions about living aboard.  The rain started about an hour after we arrived.  We ate lunch at a pub and caught up on the news from Atlanta.  

Judy and Martha are buddies. 

This guy was sitting on the dock and never moved as I walked behind him.  His body is so squat and
perfectly formed:  the head fits right in between the folded wings.

Tomorrow morning we are driving to Atlanta with Judy and Hugh.  Yahoo!  That will be a fun trip.  We will be gone from Aunt Aggie for a month while we visit friends and family in Atlanta and also in San Francisco.  The blog will take a vacation too.  We'll be back on the move and writing at the end of March.
