Rachet up the comfort/fun level another notch. We are on The Indian River. From here, to about 150 miles south, there is nothing but fun, friends and sheltered waters. We are going to,have dinner with some of those friends tonight in Eau Gallie.

This afternoon we will meet Tom, a W32 owner. Tom hosted a Westsail rendezvous just last weekend. Unfortunately we missed that.

Last night we anchored near Cape Canaveral. There is something new to see there. They have a space shuttle, complete with external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters standing upright at the NASA museum. It makes quite a sight at night when it is brightly lit.

Today's dawn was extra nice with both the eastern and western skies all pink. Tomorrow we will try to glimpse the partial solar eclipse at dawn.

This,picture is zoomed to show the approximate extent of the Indian River. It follows the east coat the whole way. Cape Canaveral is the bulge extending eastward at the top of the picture. We are near that today. The picture also shows the Bahamas to the southeast.
