| Nice sunrise at Bethune Park anchorage |
We weighed anchor around 8:30 at Bethune Park anchorage and, as usual, the chain was very muddy. If you use this anchorage, you ought to have an wash down pump for the chain. The holding is fine and there’s plenty of room and it comes with a dinghy dock - but the bottom is very muddy.

| “A” dock is full! |
Today was probably the windiest day of our trip but it was all behind us from the north so it had little effect. No surprises on the Bob423 track, all as expected. When we approached the Haulover Canal bridge, the channel was full of manatees! We usually pass through this area without seeing even one manatee but today there were about a dozen and several were right in the middle of the channel - we had to go around. Maybe it’s due to the very warm weather?

| So is “B” dock - everything is full! It’s hard to find a dock in Florida |
We are tied up at Titusville Marina for November through the January 15th when we leave for Key West. We met many old friends from previous years and are settling in. We have a driver who’s bringing our car south from Deltaville to here since neither Hertz nor Enterprise would rent a car one-way. He’s arriving Friday and I’ll take him to the airport early Saturday morning for the return trip.
It’s nice to be in Titusville - warm weather!

We are headed south from st Augustine Friday and our mast and the wind will stop us at Titusville. We hope there is room in the marina till this blow passes.
Bob, again, welcome back to the Space Coast. How were things at the north and south ends of the PdL Cut? Haven't heard or seen any dredging up there ... last time I went through it was the usual - shoot the middle of PdL 2 & 3 at the top, and stay as close the temp 18 buoy and get around 18A before heading south.
