Titusville - Not a busy day

 

Right next door on a fence by another marina


One wouldn’t want to over extend oneself, so it was a “not do anything” day. Of course, relative to the activity level of those still working, even our high activity day is a rest day for everyone else. Oh well, we enjoyed it.

The flowers are starting to come out, the first ones are peeking out now. It’s nothing like what we’re used to in Key West but it’s a lot closer. The winds are still piping out of the northeast which causes some of the boats on the other dock to bounce some. What an east wind does is pile in water, being pushed northwest along the Indian River. We are steadily gaining water depth in the marina as the winds continue. There’s about a plus or minus of a foot of water difference between a south wind and a north wind, There’re no lunar tides, just the wind tide. 

Boats coming to shore is a regular occurrence, usually due to their own lines parting, not the mooring

There’s a mooring field to the east and an anchorage used for long termers. There always seems to be a boat or two that breaks loose and comes to shore. I took a photo of the latest causality. At one time, it was the pride and joy of some sailor - sad what it has come to - sounds philosophical. We’d better look out for ourselves, better.
