Tomoka State Park
Ormond Beach, Florida
Looks like a 50 foot Catalina sloop headed North in the ICW at Palm Coast.
Marc- We started off trying to visit another quilt store in Palm Coast that was advertised as open today. It was not open. We made the most of it and went for a long walk on the St. Joseph's Walkway on the Palm Coast Linear Park. I know this park from having waited out a storm at Palm Coast Marina for a week. The paved walkway is along the Intracoastal Waterway and includes benches, boat launching facilities, rest rooms, and a playground. There is also a memorial park for deceased children. Chimes were playing in the wind as we walked through the many heartbreaking stone memorials. We saw several small boats on the waterway and one large sailboat. It is still very early to be headed North (it will be 39 degrees in Daytona tonight).
Boat on Flagler beach seen from Route A1A.
This story from the Daytona Beach News Journal provides some details. I hope it can be salvaged. The only damage I could see was a broken rudder. I wonder how the boat ended up on the beach? Someone may have fallen asleep at the wheel or an automatic pilot may have failed with no one on watch.
Hammock Beach Marina, in Palm Coast, seems to be full of boats staying for the winter.
