Mostly to partly cloudy – warm! Hi 73 Lo 58
Lat/Lon 28 36.7 N, 80 48.5 W
It was warm and sunny when we got up Sunday morning in New Smyrna! We had our coffee out in the cockpit and took our time getting around to leaving, as we only had 30 miles to go to our next destination of Titusville. Left New Smyrna at 11:00 am. :o)
We took the ICW to Titusville, just north of Cape Canaveral. Anchored by 4:30 pm.
The weather got cloudy and windy coming down here, but it stayed warm.
Again, the ICW is super shallow, if you stray even a couple of feet outside the marked channel, it’s only 5 feet, and as low as 1 foot only a few feet from there. Little sand bars all over the place! When you’re in the ICW, you have to watch the channel markers every minute. And it's not very scenic, miles and miles of flat scrub.

"Paddle faster Sid! I think I hear banjo music!"
It makes for a long, boring day. That’s why we like being ‘outside’ on the ocean. It may be bouncy, but you can relax and not constantly be on ‘watch’.
We will lay up here for a couple of days. They've been predicting nasty weather for today, but I'm currently sitting on a dock at the marina, wearing shorts and enjoying the sunshine. It's only about 70, but that's still feeling pretty darn nice. Sid is working on installing 2 more batteries, because we keep draining the 2 we have. So an upgrade there is necessary.
We expected nasty weather today, but I think we got it last night. We're hoping to go to the Kennedy Space Center tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be similar to today. I hope it stays nice. We’re both excited to see it. They even have ‘day care’ kennels for pets there.

Bo is in doggie paradise! It's like getting to stick your head out the car window, but it's like that ALL THE TIME! Wooohooo!!!!
PS. I want a post about how the animals are adjusting to life on the boat. How's the astro-turf idea working out?
Yes, and is Grace relaxed and happy? She must be ok, as her red feathers are still there. Has Bo ever tried to jump off? Does he bark at things ? Where does he sleep? The smell of the sea must seem weird to him.
Thanks for the blogs---they're so fascinating.
That's quite a special perch Grace has. Was it custom? :)

So happy every time I see a new post! It's almost like we're there! Well, not really, but hey it's the next best thing. Thanks for keeping us updated!
