Even though the water was cold and the weather was windy, we took a boat ride to Ponce Inlet.
My younger son wants to get his boating license and so big brother gave him some pointers and let him drive our boat.
A yacht passed us going the other way at the bridge, then it turned around and came back under the bridge behind us. We think he was trying to find a place to anchor.
The wind made for quite a chill, so no one went in the water. We anchored the boat with the anchor pin just beyond the Inlet and walked a bit on the flat island created by the low tide. There are few shells here, and only rippled sand with some pools of water that were somewhat warm this time of year.
After exploring here, we cruised to another area and I found some shelter behind the shrubs where the wind was blocked. Loads of fiddler crabs make their home among the brush and sea purslane.
The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse could be seen far off in the distance. I took this photo from behind the shrubs. Do you see the lighthouse in the center of the horizon?
