Halifax Yacht Club. Daytona

The wind, hard out of the north was pinning us against the dock. Unfortunately we where hemmed in between to boats that were in no rush to leave. Finally the sailboat to our stern left and we were right behind them at 11:20. Since we had a short run to Daytona and the Halifax Yacht Club it was no big deal. 

I have been wanting to stay at the Halifax Yacht Club our last two trips, but always got in late because of problems timing the two Daytona drawbridges. Today, there was no problem. The second draw bridge was removed last year and they are in the process of building a replacement 65 foot high bridge. We get into the Yacht Club at 3:15, which is in a very protected basin out of the wind, so docking was easy. Scott the dock master gives us a tour of the club facilities. They have a restaurant (jacket and tie) and lounge/Pub (collars on your shirt). I could handle the dress code for the latter, which is very nice, second floor with views of the harbor. They had a piano player for the evening. A very diverse menu made it hard to decide what to order. After dinner Linda did some laundry since their machines are free to use in their captains lounge. The Halifax Yacht Club is one of the oldest in the country founded around 1890.

We missed the Xmas Baot Parade
