Bridge at DaytonaAfter nearly 60 miles today we anchored near New Smyrna, just off the Ponce de Leon inlet from the Atlantic. There are cautions about this inlet as there are continual changes in the positions of the shoals. It was pretty tricky without the depthfinder, but we made it! We have been using a lead line when anchoring to check on the depth, though the charts and GPS help a lot. We could see the Atlantic surf spray from our anchorage, maybe half a mile away.
It was a popular spot with local boaters. Apart from the fishermen there were speedboats dragging rubber tubes behind them and giving the riders a great ride, to judge from the squeals.
We passed through a few bridges today, most of them fixed, and there was a lovely one in Daytona that stood out. It's pillars had mosaic images of dolphins, and there were cast concrete scallop shells along it's upper edge. Very pretty.
