Had a late start this morning; didn't leave Titusville Marina until 10:30. Uneventful evening, just had pizza delivery as we were too tired to do anything else. Watched a little NEWS and I'm sorry I did!!! 😡
We are a little over 100 miles from Stuart so we will be traveling about 50 miles today, so tomorrow, hopefully, will be the big day.
The weather is perfect for boating; 63º, partly sunny⛅, Wind NNE 12mph. We are topside again as we were yesterday. There is NO moon tide here!!!
We passed Cape Canaveral 🚀and Cocoa Beach (I Dream of Genie) to our west, 🏞all on the Indian River.
We went past these guys earlier in the week but forgot to post. Not sure what they are called but one is almost underwater! Some kind of pedal boat for fishing? 😄
After a smooth cruise down the Indian River we have found anchorage at 4:30. We are south of Melbourne in Palm Bay, Fl.
This is a small bay on the ICW on the Indian River. Yesterday's trip took us through the Mosquito Lagoon and into the I. R. As stated earlier both have NO lunar tide. These vast bodies of water are no more than 8 ft deep other then the ICW canal which goes through them, marked by day markers. Travel outside of these day markers can result in immediate grounding. Nowhere have we ever experienced shallows and shoals so abrupt and everywhere, other then the Royal River in Maine! Another story...LOL!
Our daily travels give us such joy. We chuckle at the marine life and birds that are so comical and playful. Most particularly are the pelicans and dolphins, they seem to be following us. 🐬🐬🐬
I have to say that we both love Anchoring for the night. It is like being on your own island(the boat), surrounded by water. It is so peaceful, there are no words to describe it!!!
We are so thankful!
