Looking forward to making a bit farther south, we headed out of our anchorage. Guided gently by Manatees, we saw at least 2 this morning. They move so slow but yet I was still not able to capture them on film. Oh well no one said I was a photographer... Not much happened on the ICW but we were going with the current and moving along quite fast. We had planned to be at Ponce Inlet in the afternoon but arrived by noon.The marina/restaurant there is called Inlet Harbor and it was such fun when we went thought on our way north. I had wanted to have lunch there but we were still full from breakfast, but it was a great fuel stop that gave away bilge socks that Carl was hoping to obtain again. We left the ICW and were pulling up to the dock, nobody answered the radio about fuel, so we would dock ourselves. I jump from the boat to the dock and tie off the bow only Carl jumps off the boat to tie the stern and the current is so strong we can't pull the boat over and Carl trips over me on the dock. Not good, what a dilemma..Now we are both mad and yelling at each other. Why does this only happen when we dock.. Carl gets back up and has to get back on the boat. About that time a guy who is in the restaurant comes over to help. As Carl pulls away to make another pass at it, the man tells me his wife and him always had the same problem when docking, yelling at each other.. They were sailors for years.. Next pass doesn't go any better , so he turns the boat around and finally on the third try he gets tied up. I go into the restaurant and have them call someone for fuel. Two young men arrive and start to help us, I ask why they were not monitoring channel 16 for the fuel dock and one of them says they monitor channel 6 at the marina and 16 at the fuel dock, but since nobody was there oh well. I tell him is was a real fuc---- trying to dock and he says if I don't stop swearing we would have to leave. Really you jerk, if you would have been doing your job it won't have been such a mess in the first place.. But I keep my mouth shut and walk away.. We get fuel and water and the other guy Dustin was great, he says he is sorry that Dallas acts like that . Dustin was very helpful.. We go inside and have a beer and while we are in there Dustin pumps out our waste tank. When Carl goes to see what he is doing he says, he felt bad so he is doing it for free. What at great guy..We thank and tip him then leave heading to New Smyrna beach for dinner and the night. They have a free dock there.  Once docked I take Bella for a walk while Carl finishes putting things away on deck. There is a lovely park right at the city dock with a monument for the veterans, great place for Bella. Carl talks to the people who are passing by and a man with his granddaughter came aboard to see the boat.When he was done doing things and the boat was closed up we went for a walk around town. We were very surprised to see most stores were closed and nobody was on the street, it was very quite..We stopped at an old drug store and that's when we found out it was Wednesday .. We thought it was Tuesday, but now that we know it was the day before Thanksgiving we understood. We found a nice place to have dinner and we took Bella back to the boat so we could eat inside. Jason's was a great little place, with wonderful food,great music, good prices and perfect service.. It was really nice to eat there, we really enjoyed it..  I even got us pumpkin cheese cake for Thanksgiving so we would have something that was kind of Thanksgiving like..Thanks Dad.. Today we head as far south as the day allows.. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, may you have a great day with family and friends.. We love and miss you all..
