Day 9 - Visiting college friends in Titusville

No go on the SpaceX launch today. There was rain in the area all day. Too bad, we were in a great location to watch it. Maybe tomorrow. 

The Disney cruise ship that was across the channel last night disappeared by the time we woke up. It was very pretty all lit up.

We did a short run to Titusville today. Passed through the Canaveral Lock, only our second lock, and then did a very slow passage through the Cape Canaveral Barge Canal. Our timing was perfect as we got to the lock just as it was opening. Martha enjoyed the ducks and pelicans hanging out at the lock. We passed a variety of work vessels, marinas and abandoned boats. Once we hit the ICW, the water was flat and there was little wind. We opened her up and made a quick trip up to the Titusville Marina. The wind picked up as we entered the marina. We stopped for fuel and a pumpout before tying up at the slip. They gave us a T-head spot and the wind helped push us up against the dock.

After checking in, we spent the rest of the afternoon visiting with some friends from our college days at the University of Florida. It was fun to catch up and share information about friends and family. 

​We didn't get any pictures of the marina before it got dark, so we will take some tomorrow before we leave here to continue our trip north to Daytona Beach. It is supposed to be another cloudy day. Hope the sun and warm temps come back.
