Cruising with Camelot

4/9/16 – 4/19/16 South Daytona Beach, FL to Possum Point Anchorage, GA.

4/9/16 – 4/12/16 South Daytona Beach

This trip took us 60 miles up the Intracoastal to South Daytona Beach. It was a little rougher trip today as you can see in this shot of a tiny island we passed

We also went through the Haulover Canal. This was loaded with fisherman and also had a very large population of Manatee. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a picture since they don’t spend any real time at the surface of the water.

Here are some other sights along the way.

Downtown Daytona

Below is us entering Adventure Yacht Harbor in South Daytona.

There is a great little restaurant right at the Marina called Boondocks. The only part of the restaurant that is really inside a building is the kitchen.

We were only a few short blocks from the ocean and made our way over by bike. Being Daytona, we had to watch for cars on the beach too.

4/13/16 – 4/15/16 St Augustine

This was another 60 mile trip to St Augustine. We passed a number of interesting sights on the way. This appears to be a deserted tug.

These homes were literally right on the waterway.

And these were in Orion by the Sea.

This is the Matanzas Inlet. That is the Ocean on the other side of the bridge.

Entering the marina at St Augustine.

This was a really neat city and everything is within walking distance of the harbor. The city is beautiful and full of historic buildings. They have a large area of town where no cars are allowed and the streets are full of shops and restaurants. We walked around quite a bit for two days.

This is Flagler College

This was the bridge leaving St Augustine.

4/16/16 Fernandina Beach

We made a 62 mile trip up to Fernandina Beach. This area of the Intracoastal is beginning to be more marshland and less inhabited.

But never fear, as we approached Fernandina Beach the homes were well worth seeing.

Check out the island under the bridge.

We went to the Marina’s Restaurant and had a nice dinner.

4/17/16 – 4/18/16 Jekyll Island, GA

The trip to Jekyll Island was only 34 miles. And it was a little rough as we proceeded through two sounds (inlets from the ocean).

Abandoned lighthouse on Cumberland Sound

This is a long range view of Jekyll Island and pictures as we approached the marina.

Jekyll Island is quite historic and quite unique. Here is the Marina office.

We went to the Jekyll Island Club Grand Dining Room for dinner the first night to celebrate my birthday, which was the day before. It was an unbelievable experience. Sorry, I forgot my camera.

We did ride our bikes around part of the island, and of course I made a stop at the beach.

4/19/16 Possum Point, GA

As we got farther into Georgia the scenery was predominantly marshes along the Intracoastal. And the waterways meandered back and forth. Waterfront homes were very rare.
