Severe Storms



We anchored on Wednesday night next to the NASA Causeway in Titusville, FL. Winds had increased to 20-25 kts from the south so the causeway gave us some smooth water. The front came blowing through on Thursday with rain, high winds and thunderstorms. Apparently, this front did some serious damage in North Carolina and on up the east coast.


The next two days were more of the Indian River...a three mile wide body of water with an average depth of 3 ft! The 90 ft wide channel for the ICW is about 12 ft deep so you have to pay attention to the red/green markers.

We arrived at Vero Beach on Friday and pulled into the city owned mooring field. There must be over 100 boats there. Just as we were arriving we saw the smoke trail of the Delta rocket launched from Cape Canaveral 50 miles to the north.
