| The area around the marina is well designed, nice for walks |
Not so far to go today but we were somewhat concerned over the high winds. As it turned out, the ride was smooth since the waves were less than a foot and right on the bow, no rocking of the boat. We did see about a knot of current going south so our forward speed was likewise affected, it took longer than we had planned.
The real test of speed will come with our trip to Titusville on Wednesday. We have to make the NASA Causeway bridge before they close it for work on the high rise replacement at 3:30. It will be a tight schedule since it’s a little over 50 NM distant. We will be leaving at “Oh dark 30” (first light).

The marina here is very nice. We have a facedock so it’s very easy in and out. We saw nothing less than 7.5 ft on the way in but you have to stay in the channel! With wind and current pushing you sideways, you have to pay attention to your navigation. It’s not a problem, you just have to pay attention.
We plan on spending four days in Titusville and we’ll have our new A/C installed there on Friday. We haven’t had a use for A/C the last two days. Perhaps we will be using the heating function on the way north?
