FL: Daytona Beach Anchorage to Marineland Marina

Sunday 3/18/2018
Depart: Bethune Point Park, Daytona Beach Anchorage 9:45
Arrive: Marineland Marina 2:05
Distance: 31 nm

We enjoyed our quiet stay on calm waters at the Bethune Point Park in Daytona Beach. Here are views from our anchoring spot.

The path into and out of the anchorage took us through / beside a mooring field of sailboats. We had to come in and exit by Red 44 to avoid shallow areas of water.

We continued to see storm / hurricane damage as we traveled along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Perhaps this sunken sailboat is among the casualties.


Better stay to the left of that green marker!

Many of the sights we saw today looked familiar from prior trips up and down the coast. Some scenes that stood out ...


Leaning Tower of Evergreen

River Junction at Fox Cut

We arrived at Marineland around 2:00. As soon as I could I stripped the bed of sheets and headed for the laundry. Clark meanwhile washed the salt and anchorage dirt from the boat and then worked with the dock master to complete a pump-out of the holding tank.

Clark finished the afternoon with a Facetime call with our son and his family, and then his daily sunset picture taking.





After dinner we spent the evening preparing for our trip home to New Jersey.
