More rain! Front has stalled. We moved out heading for Titusville running into periods of rain. The forecast is calling for a powerful shift as the front finally moves off shore. Titusville marina and moorings are not our favorite places with the predicted northerly winds.  We’ve experienced the rollers and washing machine effect before.  So we decided to stop at Addison Point and anchor on the south side for protection. I was beginning to feel like I made a bad decision as the winds continued to be out of the south. Then suddenly it happened. The air started feeling cooler. Then the wind suddenly shifted and increased to 15 mph out of the north. We swung around nicely on our hook. Even with the causeway as protection, it was still a little lumpy. As the night wore on, the wind moved to the NW and decreased. Whew, thank you NWS, you got this one right.
