I Dream of Jeannie

Well, after a nice stay in St Augustine, I started moving again on Monday morning. Monday night, I stayed in Palm Coast. Tuesday, I was up at O'dark-thirty and ......wait a minute....nope, sitting on the bottom again! (my best Homer Simpson voice) "Doh!!! Stoopid tides!" OK, tide came in enough that I was under way by 9:00.
I spent Tuesday night in New Smyrna Beach.
Wednesday morning I was up and under way before 8:00 and sailed past Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center on the way to Cocoa, Florida. I was just over the bridge from Cocoa Beach, which, as my sex-adled pre-adolescent brain recalls was where Major Nelson lived on "I Dream of Jeannie." Mostly I remember Barbara Eden in that harem outfit.......**sigh**
Anyway, Cocoa is a cool little town with a nice marina. I had dinner at an Irish pizza joint, (really!) and they were playing Christmas music. It was very nice
This part of Florida is called the Space Coast. There was some really cool scenery, including the building where they assemble the space shuttle. As you can imagine, it's huge!
Anyway, still heading south and weather has been much warmer.
