Cocoa Beach
We had a relatively quiet and uneventful day today. We left our cozy little anchorage around 8 this morning and made an unexpected pit stop at the Melbourne Harbor marina for Dave to get some things at a nearby store. In the meantime, I topped up with 80 gallons of diesel and filled the water tank. We found space at a free dock in Cocoa Village which allowed us to go into town for a stop a hardware store followed by dinner. The dock was nice and the price (free) was hard to beat but the wind shifted to the south so we decided to leave the dock and find an anchorage that was better protected than the dock which was completely exposed.
We may get to see a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral tomorrow at 5:25 PM local time. This would be a nice way to cap off our time together.
Tomorrow afternoon we will arrive at Titusville where Dave and Pam leave the boat and head home to Houston. (Sad face) We’ve had such a great time and I would never have gotten this far, this quickly without their constant help. I know that they will enjoy their next adventure but I’ll miss them on this one a lot.

Pam talked Dave and I in to do “Bro Masks”. Notice there are no pictures of Dave? He did it too - you have to take my word since there is no photographic evidence. Instead of “Bro Masks”, they should be called “Dork Masks” because that’s what we looked like!
