Day #110 - Cement Plant anchorage

Yes, That's an alligator!

Beautiful sunrise...before take off.
Left New Smyrna harbor about 8:00 am. The dockmaster helped us with our lines. Scot did a fantastic job backing us out of a tight spot and heading up the river again. Beautiful ride along the river with some gorgeous houses to dream about. We had to open one bridge today otherwise the bridges have lots of clearance, usually nothing to worry about down here. We tried to go in a designated anchorage but it turned out to be to shallow.  Of course, we hit the bottom but was able to back out in spite of the crab pot that was directly behind our boat. So we ventured onward to the next designated anchorage, which is a man made canal which leads to an old cement plant. There is also a Sea Ray factory and testing facility located here. We anchored at about 2:00 pm. Another day of sunshine and wind behind us is all we could ever ask for!  Hoping to  anchor on a mooring ball @ St. Augustine for a couple days, which is about 35 miles north of here.
