Today was a relatively uneventful cruise from Mosquito Lagoon to Coconut Beach- the relatively comes from a few moments of terror weaved in between long stretches of driving at 5 knots (I can run faster 5 than 3 knots...not long... but its possible). First thrilling moment- entering the Titusville marina, only to be greeted by a local who thought it would be entertaining to maneuver his sailboat within 10 feet of ours to say "welcome to Florida." Needless to say, if that's the welcome- I'm leaving.
The final thrilling moment was a 40 minute cruise up the ICW to Coconut Beach in the dark. Of you've ever put up a tent in the dark, you understand how a simple task can turn into a cluster in low light. We chose an anchorage close to other moorings and were a bit worried about drifting into other boats or into the channel all night. On the up-side, we gained valuable experience and know that we want to make sure we anchor in good lighting for some time to come.
