Day 18

July 9

We anchored again between Cocoa Beach and Rockledge. As we kayaked to shore, we saw a manatee rolling and playing in an inlet. We tied up to an abandoned dinghy dock and started out for Home Depot. After just a couple blocks, Amy had a VERY close call with a Cadillac making a right turn without regard to the pedestrians! Very rattled but relieved, we realized we feel much safer on the boat!

Made it to Home Depot for a fish tape (no one else knew what it was either!) and a head lamp for Amy to wear when we kayak after dusk. We found a nice Italian place for dinner then went across the street to Publix for groceries. We thought we had seen it all until we saw a grown man with a mohawk on an adult sized tricycle. We made a run for the kayak to get ourselves back to our haven!
