We are here in this neat coastal North Florida town just south of Daytona. We have been weathered in for 4 days of heavy north and northeast winds. But we are not complaining! We found a good restaurant, great farmers market on Saturday, and a big party last night celebrating St Patrick's Day. Quite a feed and a great time to socialize with fellow travelers and residents of the NSB City Marina. This marina was wiped out by the hurricanes of '94 and is now a sparkling new facility.
Sailflow.com promises a week of east and southeast winds. We aim to make time northward in a big way including some offshore sailing off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina.
New Smyrna Beach has an interesting history dating back to colonial times when people from the Mediterranean were recruited to build a community. The settlement failed and most of the immigrant's ended up in St Augustine. But the Mediterranean heritage is still very much in evidence here.
We met two boats from Nova Scotia and have enjoyed hearing their sailing experiences.
