Daytona to Titusville. This had to be among the most boring days of the trip so far. The current was against us all day. (How is that possible?) The scenery was sparse, albeit, there were a few interesting places. For most of the trip, there was little to see but broad expanses of shoal water and low marsh lands. Although, the Florida ICW is better dredged and wider than further north making steering easier, we still had to hand steer all of the way. Note for the future: This is a good area to go outside.
There are many good anchorages around Titusville, and we did find an excellent one directly off of NASA’s Cape Kennedy complex and the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB, see banner photo). When it was built in the late 1960s, this was the largest building in the world (in terms of interior volume).
We are told that this is an excellent anchorage from which to witness space launches. Unfortunately, there are no launches scheduled this week, and no shuttle launches scheduled for a month. Maybe, we’ll be able to see them from further south.
We learned that fellow Selene 43 owners, Linda and Cory (Live Wire II) are anchored about 500 yards from us, but we can’t see them because of the causeway in between. We’ll investigate tomorrow.
Ken and Joy (Slow Dancin’), friends from Herrington Harbour North are about a day behind us. We plan to meet up with them on Saturday in Vero Beach.
For our friends up north, our high and low temperatures were 81 and 70. It was overcast most of the day, but no rain. It is supposed to cool off a little tomorrow.
