ORMOND BEACH, FL - - No, these fine vessels aren't part of my 'toy' collection. Although one can dream a bit. Anyway, the city of Ormond Beach decided two years ago that The Granada Pier needed some some high class dockage to go with our 'trailer-in; trailer-out' facility.
So, about $400,000 in tax money has provided us with a fancy Rest Area. The only problem is that hardly anyone stops by to tie-up; spend the night and / or walk to nearby restaurants. Luckily I was on my almost daily library walk (the fishing pier; bait shop; boat landing and "boat parking area" is right across the street) when I spotted this traffic jam.
The folks in the larger (about 60') craft are from Charlotte, NC and headed slowly south. The sailboat's crew of two can be seen tying up. They stopped here on info from the power boat owners. After 3 days in St. Augustine it was time for more wandering to warmer locales as it was 27-degrees when they left northern Virginia.
