Thursday, January 24, 2013 – Cocoa:

            We’ve been here since November 21, 2012 – several years now...no, no, no…just several weeks…

            Woke up to a beautiful morning and since we are going to be getting a car tomorrow decided to do boat chores today.  That consisted of doing laundry, finally paying bills, and a trip down into the engine room for Bob.  Bob actually started the engines this morning, and they roared to life happily thinking that we were finally going to be bugging out.  Sadly, they were mistaken.  The cat, however, had forgotten what the engine noise was all about and as soon as she heard the engine buzzer go off, she headed for the hills…or under our covers…where she stayed for the entire day.

            Other than that, we pretty much just hung around and played cards and read.  However, along about midday, or right after lunch, we saw a big DeFever head into the marina and to our surprise it was the people who have the “Active Captain” website which is one of Bob’s favorite resources for traveling the waterway.  We have not met them yet even though they are just one boat away from us, but, hopefully, we’ll be able to say hello and tell them how much we like their website.

            After that we decided to go for a walk along the river like we used to do, and we watched dolphins looking for their evening meal and pelicans doing their dive bomb routine. 

            Back to the boat – dinner will be poached chicken over pasta.  Good grief, I simply can’t take this much excitement much longer.

            Tomorrow, we will run some errands since we will have a car (probably another trip to the grocery store), but sometime over the weekend we are going to try to go visit Winter Park.  We understand they have a great Tiffany museum and it’s just a nice place to visit.  Maybe I’ll have a little more to blog about then.

            More later…
