Titusville to Cocoa
January 28:
We had an
easy run of 20 miles to Cocoa. It was cool with temperatures in the low 60s.
The wind chill and dampness in the air made it seem colder. We added extra
layers to stay warm. Last spring, we anchored off Cocoa on April 15th and mailed
our tax returns. We agreed we’d have to stop in Cocoa again to explore this
quaint little town.

The historic
downtown is filled with interesting shops and restaurants. At the waterfront
park, there is an easy to access city dock for the dinghy. We wanted to visit
the historic S.F. Travis Hardware Company which has been in business since
1885. Unfortunately, they are closed on the weekends. We’ll have to try again
in the future.
Carla found
some cute birthday cards for her grandchildren. We bought a small wooden
manatee at The Beach House for $6. A sweet snack and coffee was consumed at the
Oleander Village Bakery. The local amateur theater group was performing On
the Town. We arrived too late for
the matinee but did get to see some of the costumed actors as they mingled with
the audience outside the theater during intermission. We plan to return and spend more time here in the spring. The anchorage is a good one with the exception
of it having a number of the floating homeless on station. We locked the dinghy
to our davits and took in our generator at night.
