Titusville - Rental car and Black Point Drive

 

The first order of business for the day was a launch by Space X at 10:25 am

Enterprise seems to have cars to rent again but due to Covid, they're not picking anyone up. However, they had an exception for Titusville Marina which saved a 1.7 mile walk. The car I had from Hertz for the trip down had 77,000 miles on it, the one today from Enterprise had 21,000. Both are a little more than usual but the one from Enterprise was in much better shape.

Naturally we wanted to drive through Black Point

The morning was highlighted by a Space X launch which included a return landing by the main rocket to the Kennedy Space Center. Usually, they land on a ship in the ocean but today was different. It's still neat for me to see the launches even if they have become rather routine for residents. 

I wished we could have gotten closer, it a beauful bird!

We got some last-minute items from Publix so we're now ready to go. Having a car, we had to drive through Merritt Island and take photos of the birds, one of our favorite things to do in Titusville. We are not avid birders and we don't know the names of most of the birds - we just enjoy the sights.

Birds all around, well we enjoy them

Looking at the weather, we now are going to leave on Monday instead of Saturday. There's a strong storm front coming through on Sunday with high winds and lots of rain. We didn't want to be out in that so we're staying put until it passes through. Monday is predicted to be clear with no rain sod we'll be leaving around 7:00 am for Vero Beach. It's about time we started heading to Key West.
