We spent another long, hot day motoring to Titusville City Marina. The last time we were here was in the winter of 2007. After the marina was hit by a hurricane, they rebuilt their docks but otherwise it looks the same. We are pausing here for about 2 weeks.

Don is flying back to Texas and will pick up his car from his mom's house, swing by Houston to see friends and do some business and head east. Why do we need a car, you ask? We are cruisers....we should relish long, hot walks to the grocery store and laundormats!

Well, here's the plan: we plan to head from here to Jacksonville. New friends (Bruce and Gina on Dreamcatcher) we met in the Bahamas had their galley refit by a yard in Jacksonville and were very pleased. So we will head up there and get a quote and see what happens! Exciting stuff. You don't get to change much on the interior of a sail boat and we have put the 'cosmetics' at the end of our refit list. So the fact that it is time to spruce up the 25 year old galley is tantalizing!

After Jacksonville we will head up to Myrtle Beach, SC to work with the irascible but talented guy who crafted our bimini and enclosure. It's been six years and, well, it's just worn out.

So, we will have a productive (if expensive) summer and if we are lucky will get these important refits finished in time to do a little cruising on the east coast before heading south in the fall.
