Titusville: Rockets in the skies and creatures below in the sea

While on our short way to Titusville, we had wonderful views of Cape Caniveral and the rockets and launch pads, with binoculars!
This is what we could see! There is a scheduled Space X launch after midnite that we should also see (if we can stay awake!) While staying inside, I almost missed one of the best dolphin swim alongs! There were 2, sometimes 4, jumping in our wake.
perfect weather to wash the boat and Rugby. After his sudsy bath was over, I was hosing off the swim platform and a rather large gentle manatee came up to enjoy the sprays!
We are excited that Pierce was able to fly to see us and pick up our car from our friend,
Warren B. After Pierce arrived, we had grilled some sausages and sat outside enjoying the full moon reflecting on the boats and water.
 MW was on her way (via Orlando) and we took some snappy naps so we could be awake when she arrived and catch the Space X Falcon Launch. It is so nice to have Pierce and his savvy tech skills as he had the Twitter feed countdown for us to watch live. It was spectacular and bright as a sun, yellow, white and orange, rapidly accelerating into space. Even Mw could see it from her Uber from the highway! She actually got a great picture!
