Lift Off!
We witnessed the launch of Space X Falcon 9 Starlink 6-51 today at 5:24 this afternoon from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. See video below. We were about 12 miles away from the launch pad but the sound of the rocket reached us about 50 seconds into the flight - it was an impressive show. Dumb luck that we happened to be here at the right time.
Dave decided that he would try fishing by dive bombing like the pelicans.
Dave and Pam leave the boat for Houston tomorrow morning and I’ll be solo for a week. We’ve had an amazing time and enjoyed the adventure together. I will miss them terribly but hopefully they will return again toward the end of the Loop when they finish all their other adventures.
