   Next stop down from Mosquito Lagoon is Titusville. We anchored off the mooring field and dinghy into the marina for a shower and trip to the brewery.


 

   We were fortunate, with a bit of planning, to be at Titusville for a Starlink rocket launch and it was quite spectacular because the launch was timed at one hour before dawn. That meant that it was dark for the launch but, once the rocket is up in the stratosphere the sunlight can reflect off the exhaust gases.


 

   The sunlight on the exhaust gases in space creates what's called - the "jelly fish" look. Its quite amazing.


 

   We were very lucky to be here at just the right time to see this event. 


 

   And a stop at Titusville has to include a visit to the Hardware Brewery. As good as always.
