Coco Beach to Titusville Municipal Marina

Not all anchorages are senic
It was a quiet day, we spent the morning “cruise planning” where we spread out charts, books, lists and computers and decide where to go next – for the next few weeks.  We have some great territory in front of us and some definite dates that we had to fit into the program.  Then we turned out onto the ICW and continued north in a straight line for some hours.  As we leave Florida, I believe the straight lines will become S-curves and loops and the route will require more attention. 

As we docked this afternoon at the Titusville Municipal Marina, I saw first a circular disturbance in the water, then some water flow. I questioned if there was a current in the marina, but that seemed unlikely. Then it became apparent that a manatee needed to move out of our slip so we could move in.  It’s a good place, very practical and well kept.  No fancy flowerbeds but some really nice people and a van that will take you anywhere in town and come back to pick you up.  Carol went to Walgreens and got the short tour.  Titusville is not a Florida tourist town or a sunbird retirement community – just a regular working town with many businesses and across the causeway is the whole Kennedy Space Center as a major employer.
Our first glimpse of NASA


 People from a couple of other boats invited us over for cocktails and so we met some folks who are also headed to Fernandina Beach for the MTOA Rendezvous.  The Rendezvous is April 15-18 and so we are working that into our plans. 
Safe and functional marina
