Friends Everywhere

We had a super evening out with our friends Joan and Jeff last evening, and we departed the dock at 0735 this morning with a brisk wind trying to pin us to the side. I managed to get off and under way and head South for Indialantic. We had dolphins swimming along side where I stand and roll on their side and look up. We decided they are trying to decide how to pronounce Marcnicliz, which is lettered on the side right were they swim. We did 9 knots SOG for the first 3 hours and then left Mosquito Lagoon and sailed across the top of Merrit Island thru the Haul Over Canal. As we sailed across the top of Indian River we saw Rosy Spoonbills for the first time on this trip. You can see the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center as you sail along down the ICW. We would love to stay and see the Shuttle land on Monday, but we need to get further south. We arrived at Telemar Marina at 1615 and set to work to remove all the trash and dirty clothes in need of washing. Our friends Diane and Carlton Wine joined us for snacks on board, and we watched the sun set from the cockpit of Marcnicliz. We then came to their house which belongs in a magazine. It has more shower heads in the master bath than our whole condo complex. A defunct Florida builder had it as his personal residence and fell on hard times. We will stay here for several days or forever if they don't fine us, then sail South for Ft Pierce. S
