Titusville - Road Trip! Down to Ft Pierce for the day (by car)

The new docks are off to the right, protected by a breakwater all around the marina

 Ft Pierce was on our list to look at for a possible alternative to Titusville for a winter stayover. We had looked at Cocoa City Marina but it looked very open to me and I didn't see anywhere to take my morning runs except through the streets of Cocoa, not much for Hoolie either. 

Another requirement for us is a place to run in the morning - this walkway fits the bill

It's a hike to get down to Ft Pierce, about 1.5 hours by car. We took I95 down and explored the area, we were impressed. The docks look first-rate, at least the ones out by the breakwater. The docks all have gates for controlled access, a good feature for the area. I didn't test the WiFi but it's provided by OnSpotWiFi, a top-rated company that I've always found to give excellent service. 

How nice to have a free table in the shade of a palm tree in 70 degree weather - and a place for Hoolie

We found a table under a palm tree that was great for a quick lunch with Hoolie tied to one of the legs. With a 5 kts breeze and temps in the high 70s, it was perfect. I order takeout for two appetizers, just enough for lunch for us, very good. 

With the warmer weather, we're starting to get out but I'm also starting to think about getting Fleetwing ready for the trip north, the departure time is approaching.

Good call on Cocoa Village Marina ... wide open, no wx protection. Good for a one night stop - plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. West Marine across the river. Ft P is really nice, lots to do.
