April 15 Titusville Mooring Field

It's Tax Day!  I already paid my thousands so I'm good.

Our approaching storm

Couldn't see this boat a few minutes before I took this pic

The trip here was another one of those uneventful journeys.  Pretty hot though although today we opened up some of the side curtains on the fly bridge to let in a little more air which eased the 90 degree temps a bit.






We left the Serenity Island Anchorage around 8:30 am and arrived here at the  Titusville mooring field around 2:30 pm.  Picked up a mooring ball relatively easily and then buttoned up the boat just in time for the torrential thunderstorm and winds that blew in for about an hour.  Sure would have been exhilarating to be motoring along in such conditions.  We literally couldn't see beyond the few boats moored within 20 years of us.

After the storm passed

The NASA assembly building

We cruised by the Cape Kennedy launch complex, always an exciting event.  The satellite launch that was scheduled for yesterday was re-scheduled for today then promptly postponed until Friday.  We'll be too far away to really see anything in Daytona, but from the mooring field here it would be quite a sight.  Maybe next time.




Tomorrow we'll be battering against Northerly winds to Daytona where we plan to anchor in the same little anchorage we found last year going up this way.  I think we'll take the dinghy down and do a little exploring around Daytona if the winds aren't too bad.

This front has left us in a pool of very cool and drying air, perfect sleeping weather.  Since we only have 45 miles to go tomorrow I think we'll sleep in until 9!
