Day 7 - Melbourne to Daytona Beach

A beautiful day for boating along the ICW.  The trip had a perfect combination of open speed areas (25 mph max) and no wake areas (under 6 mph).

We chugged through Cape Canaveral (you could see a shuttle in the distance), Titusville, New Smyrna Beach and ended our day in Daytona Beach.


Canoe fishing in Haulover Canal

Most of the way so far the ICW has been in the Indian River but today the ICW brought us a little further East through Haulover Canal to get into the Halifax River.  The Halifax River is beautiful and small so the wind didn't have much affect and the river is a part of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge so lots of creatures.


Haulover Canal - Fishing Dog

We saw tons of boaters, one manatee, about 10 dolphin and countless herons and pelicans.    And, my personal favorite, and floating "snack bar" in New Smyrna Beach area.

Enjoy the views.....we certainly did.
