Kaching$$$, Kaching$$, Kaching. That is the sound of money being poured into the bottomless pit that IS Argo's HOLD.
After receiving the final bill for repairs to Argo's transmission, the crew dulled the pain with a bit of wine and headed off to bed early.
Everyone was up before the sun this morning and eager to depart. We left Palm Coast Marina behind at around 7:30a.m. It was icy and cold but the forcast promised a sunny and warming day ahead.
The trip down the ICW was fast and pleasant. We travelled with a swift current and had speeds of 8 plus knots. The sun was wonderful and it was good to be on the move once again.
There were many dolphin sightings, with some of them swimming alongside the boat to keep us company. Signs indicated that this is also an area to cautiously watch out for Manatee as well, but not one was spotted. So the score is: Dolphins - plenty
Alligators - three
Manatee - zero
New Smyrna Beach Municipal Marina is our dockage for tonight and we are once again relying on the kindness of strangers and have imposed on the local real estate agency which has allowed us to do some quick blogging in their offices.
We plan to get an early start tomorrow after checking out the local farmer's market which takes place on the main street of downtown New Smyrna, starting at 7:00a.m.
Tomorrow's destination will be an anchorage somewhere beyond Titusville.
