We were blessed this weekend with the return of our cat Dora. She jumped ship ~2 months ago in Apollo Beach while we were docked at a residential dock. After days of searching for her we’d given up hope that we’d see her again and then we got the call on Saturday morning as weContinue reading “Dora returns \ Coronavirus Update”

A slow week here in the Titusville \ Cocoa Beach area with all NASA museums and all the Orlando theme parks closed due to virus spreading fears. Pretty much non-essential thing is cancelled and closed. For us that included a cruise, a Disney trip, and a country music concert. No worries, we’ve adjusted and areContinue reading “St Patricks Day \ Coronavirus Pandemic \ SpaceX \ Bonus Video”

What a crazy busy time it’s been for the last 6 days. Immediately upon our return to Titusville Marine from Vegas, we moved the boat to a less nearby windy slip. That morning the dolphins were playing early in the marina harbor. Later in the day we saw our first manatee, then several more thatContinue reading “Titusville \ Manatees \ Dolphins \ SpaceX \ Corona Virus \ Friends from TN”

What an awesome day in the Marina. We woke just before day break to see a family of dolphins (maybe more correctly porpoise) playing near the boat. Just after coffee and before repositioning the boat to a different slip we were visited by a large manatee. Just after tying up at a new slip weContinue reading “Dolphins and manatees”

This Vegas trip as fun but time passed ‘so fast’… 6 days flew by with lots of family time mixed in with Larry’s quarterly Board of Directors meeting plus a couple of shows on the Strip. Here’s a few pics…

After the fun time in Cocoa Beach we took a short voyage north to Titusville. The day started with a “bang” when Larry was going through the pre-cruise checklist which included load testing the ‘bow thruster’. The 24 VDC system that powers the bow thruster has 2 large marine batteries connected in series. One ofContinue reading “Space Coast \ Vegas”

Just got to Cocoa Village and walked around town just off the boat. There was some cute shops and a pirate museum, British Pub and magic shop that Larry liked. Then we found the best value in Beer at the Timeout Sports bar where $3-$5 pitchers were less expensive than an $8 big pretzel HereContinue reading “Cocoa Village”

We went to a great church on Wednesday — Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church — that also had a school. We went to 8AM mass and so did all the students from the school. The students did all the readings — it was so great to see them all in church — the schoolContinue reading “Ash Wednesday in Melbourne”

The Inn is also a resort that has one room type hotels as well as 1-2 bedroom vacation resorts. There is a central pool area in the backyard area with bar outside the restaurant with a driftwood whale carving on the wall.

It’s been 6 days since our last blog post and those days have been ‘crazy busy fun’. Lots of photos to share (too many actually). For every pic below there are 3-5 more that didn’t make the cut. We’ll try to do better as we advance our blogging skills. The past 6 days journal wouldContinue reading “Last Lock \ Stuart \ Vero Beach \ Melbourne Beach”
