Christmas Day with dolphins

Tuesday, December 25

Christmas morning sunrise in Daytona Beach was clear and calm, so we decided to bring in our lines and cruise towards Titusville.  The water was so flat on the ICW it looked strange in some places.  Along the waterway we saw more dolphins than we ever have in one day....well in excess of 50.  A couple of times Marlene when on the stern to watch dolphins chase along side.  Marlene said one was so close, it almost blew water on her when it took a breath of air.  We also saw a bald eagle sitting on a ICW marker sign in Mosquito Lagoon. We arrived in Titusville around 2:00pm and made Christmas dinner on the boat.  We even tried baking chocolate chip cookies in our oven, which apparently from the looks of the interior, had never been used.  The cookies turned out perfectly and we both concluded that today was the most unique Christmas we had ever experienced.  A storm front bringing high winds is expected to arrive on Wednesday, so we plan on staying on the mooring ball in Titusville on Wednesday.
