Now, that's what I'm talking about!

We got up really early this morning. Too early. Like 5:30 in the morning early.

Yesterday we had to have WiFi (for Coco' school), and we wanted to assess the boat, our stores, and ourselves~ soooo, again we tied up at a marina. This will not be the norm, but as we have such a steep learning curve, we are biting the bullet occasionally in the beginning to make sure we have it together. And actually, our confidence has benefited from it.

The super-stupid early rise was because we had to meet a dock hand at 6:30 to fuel up, pump out and get out before the tide was an issue at 7:30. Most people don't need 2 hours to do this.... we have a dog and a kid. Things take longer. We actually made it on time this time because the kid was still asleep.

Once we were past the inlet the fog cleared and we were able to open the sails.

I have to say~ I love that our sails our not white. They are Tanbark Sails, so they are this beautiful rust color and when they are fully out they are a sight to see.

Once through Haulover Canal we had the most idyllic sail cutting across the Indian River to Titusville.

It was made even more spectacular by the manatee and dolphin sightings all along the way.

Coco and I sat on the bow and watched the world go by. It was magnificent. She was even quiet for about 10 minutes, and if you know my girl THAT is a miracle.

We were going to keep south past Titusville, but remembered there was a rocket launch that evening. So, we got a mooring ball, hopped in the dingy, and went to the grocery store. We made it back for dinner and the launch.

A completely full day that had us in bed by 9. Again, something that never happens to me.
