Another beautiful day in Florida. We went for a long walk along the beach today. The beach here is different from those we have seen; the sand is very hard-packed and so they allow vehicles on the beach, although they are restricted to a speed of 10 mph. Apparently the first carmakers tested out their vehicles on this beach, but in time they built the Daytona Speedway for vehicles that needed to go fast, and kept the beach for people and cars going slowly. The beach goes on for miles; lots of people there on this beautiful Sunday. The higher tides from the super moon must have been hard on jellyfish, the beach was littered with them. The surf was up, people were out on surf boards; the lifeguards seemed very vigilant. There were lifeguards sitting on towers spaced along the beach, as well as one out on a SeaDoo and several more travelling up and down the beach in trucks. Came back to the boat, noticed a boat at the end of another dock with both a Canadian flag and a looper burgee so went over to visit. The boat is named Sanctuary; they left Canada in 2006 and have never taken the boat home. They leave it here and go home for the summer, then return every winter to travel down here on the boat again. Cooler this evening, some wind. A high pressure area is apparently coming in. We plan to stay here tomorrow to get things like laundry done, will plan to go to St. Augustine on Tuesday.
