Mating Manatees

So happy to finally be moving on!  Dad and mom had some really tight maneuvering to get out of our Cocoa Village Marina!!! Lordy, I was holding my breath!!! 

Saw Cape Canaveral but it looked pretty quiet...

Even with all the breezes, it was pretty warm up on the flybridge. So mom got me my own fan. She's a pretty good mom. 

This part of the ICW looks like a snake on our radar devices/charts and was really narrow & shallow.  

I have to keep them on their toes, so I didn't get my usual naps. Came through the end of Merritt Island very carefully! It was a tricky canal dodging the mating manatees and all the fishermen!!!

It was a quiet day until we got close to New Smyrna, then we encountered all the weekend pleasure boaters. CRAZY!  Many of them need the US Coast Guard Boaters Safety Course! Especially the ones in the Ponce de Leon Inlet and the Halifax River in Daytona! 

Arrived at Halifax Yacht Club in Daytona around 3 PM! They put in brand new lush green grass for us four legged friends. WOW! HEAVEN!!! The yacht club is pretty wonderful too!

Loved all the various fishermen we saw along this one canal at the end of Merritt Island

Obviously, they don't read!

                                                Fishermen and fun came in all forms today!!!

                 One of the few bridges we didn't have to wait to open...this one outside Cape Canaveral!
