This morning we left Daytona Beach and we are heading to Titusville which is approximately 10 miles north of Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral. We spent the day ashore yesterday checking out Daytona. It was beautiful, but like a ghost town. Not much was open along the main strip. When we strayed a little off the beat and path, we found some not-so-nice areas. Luckily there were 4 of us. After walking around most of the day, we settled down at Carribean Jack's for happy hour cocktails. At around 4 we headed back to our boat and Dennis and Trudy went to their boat. Michele made meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner and then off to bed around 9:30.
Of course, Dennis was up at the crack of dawn (he used to have a farm) and left the anchorage before us. We headed out around 7:50 to catch an 8:15 bridge opening. At that point we caught up to and passed Rapscallion II. There is quite the parade of boats going down the ICW together today. We've had at least 30 dolphin sightings. Of course, it's very difficult to time the picture when they come up for air. But they have been swimming all around the boat today. We also had a our first flamingo sighting, but we're still waiting to see an alligator and a manatee (although Steve says he saw one the day before yesterday, but I can not confirm that!)
We are now below latitude 29 and the cabin temperature is 74 degrees. The sun just started to make an appearance this afternoon and it is pretty warm, YEAH! I haven't worn shorts yet, but Steve has. I'm glad I hung in there, and we're finally getting the weather we came for.

Glad to hear the sun is upon you! We sure miss it here. Snow and ice and rain......welcome to New England winter. We are in for some snow this week! Hopefully it won't interfere with the big bash planned for Friday. Joseph turns TWO tomorrow. Getting some Curious George cupcakes for the fun and festivities. Miss you! Love Janine
