CT to FL Day 25
New Smyrna Beach, FL to Coca, FL
We had a great visit with Peter and Charlotte Behr... dinner with great friends.

We left from the marina this morning at 0700 headed out with current running against us... hate mornings when you start out at a slow pace and the current stayed with us until we reached Mosquito Lagoon and then the current was basically no help just not slowing us down.

Forecast was for 50% chance of rain and 10-15 knots winds... saw only one short shower and the winds were from 20 knots to 30 knots all day and it was creating a short chop. Did not effect the ride... just noisy with wind and the short choppy waves.

We really were anticipating seeing a lot of boats again today since it was Sunday... but we were surprised to see very few boats at all. The same trawler that has been passing each day passed us again today. He actually commented on the VHF about it... wondering how we keep getting ahead of them.

We had planned to go to Cocoa and have lunch and then continue on a till sunset and anchor. However, plan changed and we will be having dinner in Cocoa and spending the night here at the town dock.

We arrived and were securely docked at 1400 at the Cocoa Town Dock. Our location for the night N28°21.294', W080°43.324'. We traveled today for 7 hours covering 45.6 nautical miles averaging 6.5 knots.

Tonight we will have dinner at Ryan's village Pizza... love this place !
