The winds were forecasted to be 20kts, gusting to 30, so we thought it would be wise to further explore around Titusville from a safe dockside berth. It turned out to be a wise decision as the winds fulfilled the forecast and then some. We were rocking and rolling in the marina. Glad we were not sitting out in the river at anchor amidst the whitecaps. There was no protection in the anchorage spot we were at.
Titusville is actually a pretty little town. You would need to take a bus ride out to the mall to get to the big box stores and Publix, but there are several small business spots in town of interest.
We really like looking at the murals that show up all around town.
In addition to the large murals on building walls, the town has a program to decorate the utility boxes with sea scenes.
We were hoping to watch a rocket launch from Titusville which is directly across the river from launch pads 39 and 40. There was a Space-X rocket scheduled to launch on the 29th, but it got delayed till the 30th, and then the 31st. We have to meet some friends in Cocoa down the river a ways, so we will leave tomorrow and watch the launch Sunday from Cocoa.
What used to be the town Hardware Store is now the local brewery Playalinda. We had to spend a couple visits checking out their brews.
Yesterday it was 80degrees, perfect for outdoor drinking. Today it was 65 and blustery. We ordered a cup of their Tomato Bisque soup to go with our beers. Just right for the temps.
