DAYTONA TO COCOA, FL

Launch site, Cape Canaveral

Yesterday we arrived at Daytona. Walked into town and had a great dinner at an Italian Restauant. Our waitress was a hoot and we had a good time.
This morning we headed to Cocoa. Along the way, we passed Cape Canaveral. It was REALLY windy and our arrival at the Cocoa Marina was very scary. Both John and Mark had their hands full with docking our boats in these winds. We had been on the Indian River all day with following seas. John had to steer all day...could not use auto pilot, also, shallow outside the ICW channel. It was pretty exhausting .
We met some liveaboards on a sailboat next to us. Come to find out they had lived in Kemah in the 90's and knew many mutal friends of ours. They are true adventurers and had sailed their boat from CA through the Panama Canal to Florida. Very nice and very interesting couple! We had an enjoyable happy hour on our boat with them, Mark and Maridee.
For dinner tonight, we walked into town for a tasty Thai meal.
