Palm Shores and Titusville

Day 74 & Day 75
March 14 & 15, 2016
Monday and Tues

Day 74   3/14/16
We left Vero Beach Marina early got water and diesel  and dumping trash.  We had a sunny warm uneventful days travel. We were able to put sails up part of the day. We anchored of Palm Shores and had a restful night.

Day 75   3/15/16
We headed out about 9 and anchored at Titusville around 2:30.  We had our sails up most of the day. We got in a few places with little room to maneuver under sail.  We anchored and almost immediately saw manatees near the boat.  They stayed around all afternoon and near dusk one came up to the bow and looked us over. We were out on the bow looking it over too.  It was within 5 feet of us for several minutes and in sight for several hours. They have such human looking eyes.  
It started out cloudy but cleared up and has been a really warm sunny day. May be an uncomfortable hot night.  The no-see-ums came out at dusk followed by a few mosquitoes.  The bane of my existence when out doors is how much the bugs that bite like me.
