Moving South

Our plan is to move south while we are enjoying somewhat improved temperatures (still cold at night).  Some of our cruising friends don't seem to mind the temperatures.

Dolphins Playing in Our Wake

(Pollie worked hard to get a picture of the dolphins)

This morning after leaving Titusville, we had to open two bridges, the Titusville Bridge and the NASA Causeway Bridge.  The first was not a problem other than a 42' catamaran that pulled in front of us because he had to be first.  The second bridge was more challenging.  It had a barge with a dredger working under the bridge.  The bridge tender advertised that there was 20' between the barge and the fender of the bridge.  This eliminated the catamaran, as his beam was 22'.  This put Serenity in the lead.  As we went through, I saw about 3' on either side of our 10.4' beam.  After we got through, I advised the bridge tender, "Serenity is clear, thank you for the opening, now I will now go take my blood pressure medicine."  The boat behind us ask if they could have some too!
