Wednesday, Nov. 6:
We left Daytona with winds and a few showers. We radioed the
fuel dock and an attendant held out a long net to drop the bathhouse keys in.
Never saw anyone do that before!
We went through the George Munson Coronado Beach Highway
Bridge, through Sheephead Cut, down Mosquito Lagoon into Haulover Canal, Indian
River, through the Max Brewer RR bridge and were heading to Titusville, near
NASA.
We planned to anchor, but they put in a new mooring field,
so we went in for fuel and took mooring #4.
Chuck played the keyboard for me, while I laid on ice for my
back. It hurts to sit, so I don’t sit for very long. He played all old show
tunes and sing-a-long songs he played for the local Kiwanis Club when he was a
teen. My pop-pop used to enjoy those sing-a-longs at his Kiwanis Club meetings.
I’ve often wondered if Chuck played for him when he was a kid!
When we got the mooring, Chuck spun the wheel and realized
it was squeaking. He took off the floor panel and sprayed it all with WD-40. It
was still squeaking, so he climbed into the aft cabin and took off the cover to
get to the other side and found the problem. Nylon on nylon needed a little
lubrication. Oh, the joys of boating!
Tomorrow: Melbourne, FL
