Day # 481; Loop Miles to Date = 5,371
No pic's this time...just a quick update on where we are...
We've had an absolutely gorgeous 2 days of cruising. The weather is simply idyllic...low-70's, light wind, and not a cloud in the sky. And it looks like it will be this way for the foreseeable future! After a couple of nights in New Smyrna Beach, we stopped off at Titusville for one night, and now we are at Cocoa Village Marina for a week. We've been to all of these stops before, and we really enjoyed Cocoa last spring, so we decided to head here for a short stay again.
Titusville is also a nice stop...a fairly large marina right on the ICW, and it has a dog park directly next to it. So, we were able to get our noisy pups off of the boat for some group therapy...Kikie especially enjoyed it as she turns into a real socialite in these types of settings. It doesn't matter whether it's dogs or people...she just wants to meet everyone.
And today, the water was perfectly calm, and there was no boat traffic at all. The beauty of this is that we were able to spot a couple of manatees swimming not far from us. They stay mostly submerged, and are difficult to spot even on rather calm days. But it was like glass today, and we were traveling through waters that are known as manatee habitats, so we were on the lookout. We got within about 50 feet of one of them...this is the first time we have seen them while actually cruising, and not sitting at a dock...it was terrific!
So, we're settled in Cocoa for a week, and we'll have a rental car this weekend (thanks Enterprise for having your weekend special available at the location here). We'll therefor be able to tour around, get some errands done, and visit some "stuff" in the area that is not within walking distance...more fun to be had.
All for now...thanks for reading.
