We are spending 2 nights in Port Orange (aka Waaay south Daytona Beach), and today was our full day to enjoy the beach. Earlier today I would have written "enjoy the beach and...", but once again the afternoon rain got in the way. We did spend about 4 hours on the beach including 3 swims and lunch. We started to head back to the boat about 1:30 as there was a very dark cloud over part of the mainland.It was only about 3 blocks to the marina, and as soon as we had washed the salt off all of the beach equipment and the scooters, the skies opened up. The thunder was so loud that I had a hard time going to sleep... Then just after I got up, the skies opened up again.
Finally, the rain stopped and the skies cleared about 5:00 pm. We loaded the dingy onto the swim platform, and then headed off to dinner.
We walked about 4 blocks south and chose this "sign" hoping that the food was as good as the sign was... We had fish & oysters (me) and shrimp (the Admiral).
Perhaps the most interesting item was the cheese grits that the Admiral had as a side. They certainly looked much better than normal grits, and they were at least good enough that I was not offered a taste (?).
Tomorrow, we are tentatively headed for St. Augustine about 57 miles north. However, we are open to a change in plans if we see some place that looks interesting along the way.
Given that I love NASCAR auto racing, you should wonder why we are not stopping in Daytona Beach. No other sport starts their season with the biggest dance of the year, which in this case is the Daytona 500 in early February. Well, I am holding out for the "big dance"... (hint, hint)
