We left Mosquito lagoon around 10 am and motored south about 18 miles down the ICW arriving at the Titusville Municipal Marina and slip A-17 around 12:45. Harry backed Juno into the slip without difficulty, and with help from a dockhand we were tied up and having nan pizzas for lunch in the cockpit by 1:45. Our slip happened to be 4 slips away from Bob and Anne Sherer of “Bob 423” fame. Bob is well known among Beneteau 423 owners as he wrote a cruising guide to the ICW tailored to Beneteau owners. The marina was very well appointed with a little office/store, clean bathrooms, laundry, grills, and a small lounge with a tv. We spent the afternoon with Harry up in the rigging trying to add a piece to the upper shrouds to lengthen them but he wasn’t successful as a part had seized up. Headed to the showers to wash off the sweat and then out to Hoffman’s Table for a dinner of prime rib just a short walk from the marina.
On Sunday Dec. 12th, Harry went aloft again to finish rig adjustments, did some laundry, an then I Ubered to the Budget car rental shop around 3 pm to pick up a rental car. Stopped by Walmart to pick up some damp rids to combat moisture while we have the boat closed up for 4 weeks while we return north. Also picked up some tarps to keep seeds off Juno that are dropped by the starlings that sit aloft in the rigging. Taking advantage of the car, we went out for dinner again, this time ending up at Indian Surprise because La Marimba was closed for a holiday party. We spent the rest of the evening packing and prepping the boat for our departure by car tomorrow morning.
