To Daytona

After some pondering about visiting Titusville, I decided to head north for Daytona at 11AM.  

At 6PM, I decided to anchor south of Daggert Island, about 8 miles short of Daytona.  Nice sunset all by myself.  There was some local boat traffic, but quiet after dark.

The next morning (Saturday), I weighed anchor and headed for Daytona, anchoring exactly where I anchored last December.  I went shopping, had lunch at Checker's visited Surplus Unlimited, a marine store that was closed the last time I was there.  Visited a couple of Amazon Bin stores and had a long walk back to the boat at Bethune Park.

Sabastien to Cocoa Beach and Titusville

We motored 7 hours to get to Cocoa Beach.  We tried to stay at the public dock but it was under construction.  We anchored nearby.

Visited S F Travis CO, an amazing hardware store.  Then we crossed the bridge to visit Harbor Freight and West Marine.

While walking back, I gave $20 to a pan handler which upset Chris.  We were looking forward to seeing the Dragon Crew 10 launch which was scrubed due to hydraulic problems with the launch pad.

The Bier Garden that I wanted to return to had closed their kitchen and we ended up at Ryan's Pizza and Pub.  
















On Thursday the 13th, we walked through Cocoa Beach and then returned to Ryan's Pizza to update our iPad, computer and other devices at Ryan's.  










The shuttle came and Chris departed and I returned to the boat and went off to Titusville.  Access was limited and I returned to Bellum after an evening at the north of the bridge.  






As previously, Titusville was disappointing.

Fort Pierce to Sabatian

At 9:30, we went to the marina for Diesel and updated our wi-fi stuff.  Made it to the bridge for 9:30 opening.  We motored to Sebastian.

We walked through town, had some Gelato.  There were many motels and rental villas.  The town was probably a popular spot for sports fishing.

Swansboro to Oriental

 I got up early (again) and found Bellum had been spinning round the anchor.  When I pullled up the anchor, the chain seemed to have spun a ...
