5/10/10 – Titusville, Florida

Though we have travelled this area of the Waterway before, when we delivered our boat from Florida to our home two years ago, some parts look familiar, and some don’t. At that time we had crew aboard with us, and were doing a much faster pace of 100 miles a day, so some of it went by in a blur. This time we are stopping and “smelling the roses” by travelling only half as far each day.


We arrived at Titusville Municipal Marina around 12:30 p.m., and when George went into the Dockmaster’s office, the personnel there tried to convince him to stay for a few more days, since the last NASA Space Shuttle launch is scheduled for this Friday. They are planning a Dock Party for that event, and told him that when a shuttle goes off, the whole marina shakes! Unfortunately, our schedule right now does not coincide with NASA’s and we have already committed to being in Georgia by Friday. We can’t be everywhere! When George returned to the boat, we wrote out mail, paid bills, worked on the blog, and enjoyed a pizza delivery with Pat’s current favorite show, “Dancing with the Stars”! – some things are just like being at home!
