Titusville - A SpaceX launch and Shilohs for dinner

 

We can see the launches from the front deck of Fleetwing

A Space X launch is pretty routine in Titusville. You will usually get a launch almost once a week. The Falcon heavy attracts more attention and the moon rocket by NASA will get a big crowd due to its size. We had a Space X launch this morning around 11:00 am which we watched from Fleetwing. The most visible part of the launch is the vapor trail left by the Falcon. 

We had a good dinner at Shilohs

I was overjoyed this morning to find that the leak was fixed by the replacement of the through hull in the aft swim platform locker. Sometimes you never find these things but we were successful this time. The plastic through hull installed by Beneteau was replaced by a Groco bronze through hull which is much more sturdy. With that fixed, it’s much easier to relax over the next two months away from Fleetwing.

For our going away meal, we dined at Shilohs, nice. It’s right on the water and the food is generally pretty good. If you just look at the parking lot, you would think the place must be full - but the inside is huge. We didn’t feel crowded when we ate at 5:00. 

Sunday is our big day for packing the car for our Monday morning departure. It’s time to start northward.
