Cocoa, Florida

A rather short day for us today.  Last night we anchored in Mosquito Lagoon - how's that for a romantic setting?  No mosquitoes, but lots of no-seeums or chiggers so we really couldn't enjoy the evening outside.  Yesterday we had to wait while they got a lift bridge to work.  Today we had a close encounter with a barge in the bridge opening.  The tug operator pushing the barge said they would be there about 45 minutes, but if we felt we could get through we didn't have to wait.  He said there should be around 15 to 17 feet clearance.  We're just a little over 13 feet wide, so what the heck...   It turns out we had 5 or 6 feet to spare.


Our fried Mary has started collecting pictures of "interesting" boats so I sent these two which we saw today.

I've heard of ferro-concrete boats, and glass-fiber boats, but brick...?

If you can't read the fine print, LCBR is "Landing Craft Beer Recovery"
An early Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from the four of us.
