Chilling Out in Cocoa

April 24-29, 2016

Cocoa Village Marine, Cocoa, FL

First day here, dad gets our dingy sort of running; but he is still bringing in a mechanic to look it over…the winds were so high, that dad couldn’t get the dingy out to run it. The gusts were really bad! It blew our beach wagon off the dock. Thankfully all our laundry wasn’t in the wagon at the time, but mom lost her IPad Mini. The good news is the wind dried me off fast after my bath on Moondance’s stern. 

Walking around town is lots of fun! This town is full of charm & personality! Loved going for a walk with dad and mom in the evening. We found the Dog N Bone Pub that let me come in…I got so much attention and even dog bones!!! It was GREAT! It’s a great walking town with lots of waterfront parks, shops, restaurants and pubs!!!

The dingy repair man arrived today and determined that we need our carburetors rebuilt because although there hasn’t been much time on this engine, it has set too long! So we now have our time here in Cocoa extended two more days???

It’s a great place to chill out, so we are fine! It also explains why mom has built an extra week into our schedule every 21 days because this kind of stuff happens!

She bought me a really cute scarf and some delicious homemade dog cookies, so I’m really, really happy here!!!

The historic downtown area that was redone in the 1970's

I love old street clocks. It reminded me of St. Maarten's.

Might have posted this one twice, so European looking!

Look closely at the sign above the clever up cycled pots!

Lily's New favorite place since they let her in and feed her!

 This hardware store has been in business since 1885, so fun!!!

Still have to go into this one?!

Mike couldn't believe this big RV was trying to make it's way down this tiny street!

The Theater is still going strong...started with Silent movies in the 1920"s
