Yesterday we traveled from Palm Coast to New Symrna Beach, FL. We arrived fairly early and had a chance to explore. We went into the New Symrna Beach Museum and walked around downtown. It was definitely like walking into the past.
Today was uneventful unless you count the Sheriff's Department boarding the boat. They were checking MSD's (Marine Sanitation Devices) on the ICW. Thank goodness that Chris had wire-tied ours shut so we were cleared in record time and were on our way. We had quite a few opening bridges to navigate today but the bridge tenders were on the ball and no waits for Long Gone. A 1954 Trumpy Motor Yacht passed us by today and she was so beautiful. Dolphins also were just everywhere, but nary a Manatee was spotted (and I was looking!).
Cocoa Beach Village Marina is quite beautiful and within walking distance of everything. Chris & I found an old hardware/marine store in town which was like a Mitchell's Hardware on steroids.
The last 2 days have been lonely on the waterway - we were by ourselves pretty much all day yesterday and only in the company of motor yachts today. We suspect that our going offshore has put us in front of the "pack" that we were accustomed to traveling with.
Tomorrow we're hoping to be able to dock behind my friend's house in Vero Beach. We're a bit worried about depth, but we'll keep you posted.

I am a little pissed off that a sheriff can stop a boater and ask if the shitter is shut. Can they stop a car and ask if you have drugs?
Hey you guys, glad to hear you're doing well. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Miss you,
Lynne

Oh about the shitter.... i have no doubts that Chris had the wire on.. i bet the sheriff never checked the 5 gal pail with the baggie in it!!!!
Yes... in Florida the Sheriffs Dept. works closely with Marine Fisheries. Because of the amount of boating in Fla., they do have the power to board your vessel!
