Day 6, Friday, April 18, 2008

I’m up early but it is still dark. I’m trying to decide whether we can see well enough to make a run through the bridge before 0630. It’s overcast with lots of clouds so visibility is down. I opt to have breakfast and wait until the bridge is open again after 0800. At 0800 there is a mass exodus from the anchorage and we are the third boat through the bridge.

Our fuel is low and we have no backup so we decide to stop in Titusville and fill-up. At the fuel dock they are working on the pumps trying to set them up for a 17 cent/gallon price increase. By the time we fuel up it is after 1000 so making it to Daytona in time to rent a car is impossible. We decide to stay in the Titusville marina, get a rental car, go get our car so we can pickup Jan Washbourne at the Orlando airport on Sat.

Enterprise picks us up at 1230 and we head for Stuart. We have one last lunch at the Pelican Café in Stuart, then pickup the Avalon at Southpoint and drive both cars back to Titusville. After dropping off the rental car, we make it back to the marina for showers and dinner.

Location: Titusville Municipal Marina, Titusville, FL at MM 878. Boat distance traveled, 8 miles.
