 A lighthouse on the ICW 
near Daytona

Now ~ that's a lot of pelicans!!

 This is the marina where Gordon picked us up two years ago

 This boat was here then also
He has 5 anchors out....which he needs
we know...because we dragged anchor while there!

 Look at this little guy!

The line coming off the little rocky island
is nothing but birds!

 Our sunset tonight

 It just gets prettier!

Awwww....what a night!

We made it to Titusville today but we decided to stay out another night before going into town.

Our day was rather uneventful until a Sheriff and State Marine boat decided to pull us over.  We passed life jackets, fire extinguishers, heads, everything until......documentation.....:-(

 This is a copy of our expired documentation from last year
Now, because I didn't mail the paperwork back in on time this year
(which would have cost me nothing)  I had to pay $66 for "paperwork
processing" to send out another Certificate of Documentation"

In meantime, I get a letter from them stating I could use this until
I received the original paperwork which would be in about 6 weeks....I can't print off
paperwork from my computer so I emailed it to Bob and asked him to print it off.  This is
what he printed off!  So of course when I grabbed it and handed it to the officer, I tried to explain to him how all this came about and thank goodness he was as professional as he was.  He handled it like a champ; he told me he could fine me for not having proper documentation but then he said
to print off another copy to be legitimate.  I said "no problem."

So ~ this free piece of paper sure could have costed me a lot of money in the long run!
