Friday, 3/27/20 ~ While Pete took Bailey to
shore, I prepped the boat for departure. As we pulled up anchor, I spotted a
number of rays on the surface as the water was so calm.
As we passed Fort Pierce inlet, we had the current in our favor. The temps were mild and winds were out
of the SSE at around 10, which was sufficient to keep air moving around us. Many
of the islands near the San Sebastian Inlet were full of boats and people. Some
of them forgot the social distancing part, but the authorities are patrolling
and reminding people.
On his way south, Pete had come into this secluded port to the Marina to escape a weather front. Today, we just came into anchor. There were a number of live-aboards and a few anchored smaller sailboats. It was a wonderfully picturesque and protected harbor with a county park at the entrance. We watched the dolphins, the seabirds and a osprey cleaning his talons by skiing across the water.

Spoke with Deb
and Hugh, SV SIMPLICITY, who are at Port Canaveral and will drive up to
Titusville if we can get dockage or a mooring tomorrow. Pete had called both Cocoa Beach and
Titusville, but they are not accepting transient boaters in the marina. We realized after
hours that we didn’t check if the mooring field was available. We will call in
the morning.
