FL to CT Day 7
Fort Pierce, FL to Cocoa, FL
Off to an early start this morning... 0600 up and off to land on the dinghy to walk Beecha at the boat ramp just north of the Fort Pierce North Bridge... got a nice shot of the sunrise coming back to SAILS. Pulled the anchor and were underway by 0730... bound for Cocoa today.

First thing hail the Fort Pierce Bride for an opening... they are on demand so there was virtually no wait and we headed north... 7.8 knots with an incoming tide... VERY NICE! Of course this did not last for long but we did get a good boost of speed for a few hours.

It's Saturday!!! the weekend and the boats were out in full force... weather was great and the trip was pretty routine. A few morons passed and waked us but nothing that I fell out of my chair with... :)

We arrived to Cocoa to find our "FREE DOCK" totally empty... not a single boat tied up... figured we find at least one other boat on it... NOPE! We had our choice of location... but in 150 feet of dock there really is not a lot of choice anyway.

We were securely tied to the dock at 1600... location N28°21.255', W080°43.322'. We traveled today for 8.5 hours covering 58.3 nautical miles averaging 6.9 knots.
