Oct 2, New Smyrna Beach, FL

Interesting boat next to us in the marina is built in the style of a WW II landing craft. This version for civilian use.

We talk to the crew and they are delivering the boat to Maine.
Hope the good weather continues for the rest of their trip.

We left St Augustine with rain threatening and saw a 'waterspout' just as we pulled out of the marina.

Light rain continued most of the morning and then cleared off before noon. Rain all around us today.
