Daytona Dreamin'

There's a beach in there. Well, somewhere!

Halifax Harbour Marina, Daytona: 2009

We limped on to Daytona, staying at Halifax Harbor Marina for a week licking our wounds and hoping that repairs could be made - quickly.  Although Jacksonville was later suggested as a better option for Simrad & other electronic gear repairs, we took the opportunity to have the regulator and inverter/charger replaced by Mike, a friendly and helpful local.  Our old one had ceased to work properly ie batteries were not being recharged efficiently when the main engine was running. I cannot say whether this was caused by the lightning strike but it seems, in hindsight, rather coincidental, although they didn’t fail immediately as a result of the strike.

Calm after the Storm

We took the chance to lookover Daytona's famous beaches and fast cars.  We even found a few bargain boat bits shops - a chance to stock up on well, more stock, for the store room.  GS tells me WJ3 is seriously listing to the left.
