Ft. Pierce to Cocoa Beach

We left the slip we have occupied for a week today at 0800.  Keeling Time stayed behind to repair the lightening strike.  We guess that they may not catch up with us for some time due to some family personal stuff that will take them away from KT for several weeks.  The trip from Ft. Pierce was an ejoyable one in light, cool winds and mostly cloudless skies.  Certainly, the traffic and size of boats is far less than south of here.  We witnessed at least two regattas along the way and more sea birds than we have seen in some time.  Speaking of that, we think there are more seagulls and pelicans in Port A than in the entire route from there to here.  Could it be that the remote nature of Port A makes better nesting places than say the mega yacht world around Ft. Lauderdale?

We anchored in Cocoa Beach around 1700 and had some of Bear's King Ranch Chicken and a beautiful sunset.  There are many boats anchored here but few have signs of life.  Most that do have foreigh flags.  Tomorrow, we plan to head north past Cape Canaveral toward to St. Augustine.
