Cocoa Beach

The only thing I every knew about Cocoa Beach, Florida was that it was Jeannie's home near Cape Cavernal. As we cruised, we had great views of NASA’s rocket launch pads (probably because they are enormous!)  The little Village of Coca Beach is very colorful, whimsical, and somewhat stuck in the 60's! There's a pirate museum,  shops for kitchy souvenirs, hookas, and candles... and lots of references to space. The town shut down around 4 PM and the Mexican dinner place was closed on a Wednesday, so we ate our own version of burritos on the boat. While visiting the marina office, a nice woman recognized me from meeting in Paducah! They are a lovely Canadian (Tony & Arian) and our paths continued to cross over the next few days. The weather was sunny and hot, but the beach not close enough to walk to.  The trip here from Vero yesterday was a straight shot, a very wide part of the ICW, and well, very boring! I spent most of the 56 mile trip inside where I could catch up on writing this blog! I had to go back to when our "Spring Break/ March Madness" started! It's nice to slow down~
