Smyrna Yacht Club


What a relaxing day today has been!
We spent last night at anchor in Daytona. All was well until about 2 am when the tide started coming in against the wind. We were in a pretty good standing wave for a couple of hours. We did manage an ok nights sleep, but we were out of there at daybreak.
Arrived at this beautiful Spanish Architecture club about 9:30 am and have enjoyed the most relaxing day of the trip. Did a little cleaning, some reading, some napping, etc. What a great place to stay and for a terrific price - one night free! We have been talking with some of the members and getting tips for similar clubs along our route in Florida. Apparently Florida has a strong cruising yacht club association with reciprical privilages for members. Some but not all of these honor the Yacht Clubs of America card. This reminds us of the joys of cruising to the yacht clubs on Lake Ontario. We'll see how many more we can stay at over the next 4 months.
