14 May - Day 72. We're amazingly rested for having run almost straight for the last 48 hours. At 1530 hours we shutdown the engine, in Daytona Beach, to check the oil level. Since there's a West Marine nearby we dropped the dink and got some new flares (I promised the Coastie who 'visited' us two nights ago that we'd replace our expired ones as soon as possible). Night navigation is more difficult in the dark, narrow and less well marked waters south of St. Augustine and so at 2235 hours we drop the hook. 136nm today: 1928nm total. DBH
