We spent a leisurely day following sv Soujourn for hours, opting to just take it slow. On a lark, Todd took their picture going through the Haul-Over Canal Bridge, then reached out on the VHF to offer to send the photo. They were thrilled, since cruisers don’t get very many pictures of their own boats in action. So, they returned the favor later in the day as we passed through the NASA Causeway Bridge behind them.
We passed the NASA Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) in the distance at Cape Canaveral. How exciting! It was HUGE! Next time we come through we will stay somewhere close and take a tour. This time, however, we are hustling through trying to get to the islands for Christmas in the Caribbean (still sounds better when you sing it).
We’ve learned over the year that you sometimes need not only a Plan B, but a Plan C (and sometimes D). Well, our Plan A was too exposed to the wind, and Plan B was crowded with abandoned looking vessels, so we pushed on to Plan C, the Pineda Causeway Bridge at 909, where we anchored at dusk somewhat protected from the wind by the bridge. Getting pretty good at anchoring.
