Monday 23rd November Cocoa Beach, FL mile 897 (52 miles)

Got up early to refill our propane gas bottle (that is the ting that keeps the stove and oven going and us fed - importante!!!). Bicycled up to the town and had the tank refilled. Now this sounds simple, but really it takes skill and determination to complete a task as this – Jorgen skillfully wiggled his bicycle thru horrendous traffic situations while balancing gas bottle between his teeth (and it was raining). Meanwhile Maria had to just make it through traffic on a flat banger with no brakes – padded pants where definitely required on this heap. The best one was, while trying cross a major intersection on the marina archived cycles, Stephen Roche passed us by on his shiny Peugeot and tight pants, almost fell off his bike laughing at the two of us, I was too focused on stayin’ alive, to give a shite!

Left New Smyrna around 10:00 and planned to head down to Titusville. Once in Titusville we decided that we did not like the look of the place and pushed on towards Cocoa Beach. Cocoa had a great anchorage, plenty of space, good holding and protected from wind and wakes, but no bicycles we had enough for one day thanks.

Chocolate Smoothies were enjoyed after dinner!

Skinny Canal and bridge on request........



If you look real hard NASA launch pad off to the East of our port
