Waiting to launch

03 April 2010 | Cape Canaveral, FL
John and Cheryl
Cheryl's Notes:

Just a short note to let everyone know of our change in plans. We left Vero Beach Wednesday morning and anchored that night near Melbourne. On Thursday morning we moved up towards Titusville. We decided that we have to give the shuttle launch a chance. If it is delayed, at least we tried. But, if it goes off as planned, we have a front row seat. We are anchored right off of Cape Canaveral, and can see the shuttle on the launch pad. I have somehow caught a bad cold, and have been spending the last couple of days napping and laying in the sun. Hopefully by Monday, I will feel better and we can be on our way again.

John's Notes:

I hope that this wait is worth it. I'm not up for another weather delay. If there is one, I'm afraid that we will just have to miss the launch. Stay tuned for some great pictures. We are also charging up the video camera.
