Titusville Marina - at last!

 

Here's a big barge coming through Ponce de Leon inlet on the ICW
We saw 8 MLLW on the ICW, probably helped by the frequent barges plowing through

Storms are due starting Thursday so we wanted to get settled in a Titusville before the bad weather. It was a beautiful trip south with light winds and full sunshine, couldn't ask for a better day. After an overnight at Bethune Park, our batteries which we zeroed out appear to be okay after a full charge at St Augustine, thank goodness. 

Titusville is full, again

We had the most protected dock in Titusville Marina and will all the lines we put out, we're secure for even major storms. Thursday morning will be the start of our re-entry into walking and running. When underway, we seldom get to exercise at all other than just being on a boat. 

Secure for the predicted storms on the way

We still looking for a car for our trip north over the holidays. Enterprise refuses to rent a car one-way. When I looked at just keeping the car for the time we're up north, the total came to around $3400! That's a bit rich. We kept the car for two month before at times and the total came to around $1400 so Enterprise has more than doubled their price! 

We are looking into other options but we're not sure what we'll do yet. Soimehow, we have to get north for the holidays. Meanwhile, we're well situated since we provisioned and did laundry in St Augustine so we'll take it easy for a day or so before proceeding.

Welcome back to the Space Coast. Hopefully the car situation figures itself out. I haven't checked the FB Group yet today - how was the southerly turn at PDL Cut Daybeacon 18/Buoy 18A/Junction Buoy C?

Pounce de Leon was 8 MLLW. Good to be settled in at Titusville.

I just made a one-week, one-way reservation with Hertz for the outrageous sum of $1380.
