 Welcome to Titusville, FL !

 Great idea for the scuba air tanks

 Nice bush

 Finally!  Up close with a Manatee !!

 Another one !

 This is where we got the mooring ball from

I'm doing laundry here !

 This one is eating the grass laying on top of the water

Bob got lots of good video that needs to be cropped then

we will put it on line !!

 Huge house boat the just pulled in....

only problem is....

he is facing the wrong direction because he is wrapped around the mooring ball

He had to jump in the water to untangle himself !!

Our sunset !!

Today was another good day on the water here in Florida !!  

It took us about an hour to get here from where we dropped the anchor yesterday.  Once we got the mooring ball we piled the dinghy with laundry and trash and headed for the marina office to pay for the ball.  I gotta tell ya, this is the friendliest town I think I've ever visited.  Even our Skipper Bob book says the same thing!

After checking in I started the laundry and Bob started making phone calls.  There was another woman ahead of me and she was a little slow getting back to check on her laundry.  Then when she finally did come back to throw it in the dryer, she forgot her quarters, so had to go back to the boat to get them.  Morale of story, it took me a lot longer to do laundry than was necessary.  But!  laundry was only $1.00 per wash and .50 to dry!!!  Now that's a bargain.  And it got the clothes clean and dry!!!

While doing laundry Bob and I decided to take a walk along the water way.  So glad we did because we saw 4 manatees, a dolphin, and fish jumping everywhere!  This place is littered with sea life!  Bob got lots of great video and I will post it as soon as he crops it for me.

After pictures, video, and walking around Bob decided to go to the Save A Lot grocery store while I finished the laundry.  He was just going to pick up a few things for tonight.  He calls me after shopping and says, "I hit the jackpot! I did good1 I'm on my way back now!"  He picked up a lot of groceries for a small amount of money and said the store was like shopping back in the 80's with prices.  He even told one of the women there that and she said....well shop now because as soon as this is gone we are raising prices on everything 3.4%....she said one woman came in and bought so many groceries she filled her basement with them due to the price increase.  We on the other hand think....even with the price increase it's a great price!

After shopping and laundry we came back to the boat and took a nap.  Exhausting work taking all those pictures !  Early evening with a little TV and cards.
