6-8 Mar, Cocoa Beach


   Next stop down from Titusville is Cocoa Beach.  We normally anchor off the city dock at Cocoa Village but there were two problems: one, the winds were blowing strong from the south so that side of the bridge is very rough and, two - the city dock has still not been repaired from hurricane damage a couple years ago and we confirmed there is no place to land your dinghy.

  Consequently, we anchored on the northeast side of the bridge and dinghied into shore on the beach side. 


 

   We were able to walk everyday on the Cocoa Beach side, walking to WaWa or 7/11 for coffee and an ICEE.  One day we walked all the way to the beach from the bridge. We thought it was 4.3 miles to the beach but were mistaken - it was 6.5 miles. So that was a 15mile day including the 2mile walk we did earlier in the day with Rivah. 

   We also took the bus over to the Cocoa Village side to visit the new brewery over there.
