Sunny and Warm At Last

Day 23
Jan 24, 2016  Sunday
Titusville Municipal Marina
Titusville, FL

We left Daytona at 7:30 under clear blue skies. The cockpit warmed quickly and it was a pleasant trip of about 50 miles. We had gentle winds and water both. There were a lot of sail boats out today. At several bridges 5 sail boats were grouped up to go thru the bridge and Journey was the only power boat.  Must have felt like the Lone Ranger, he was certainly outnumbered.  One sail boat we were in sight of almost all day was acting very erratic.  Then when we came in the marina it was coming in right in front of us. 

Our alternator seemed to charge the batteries fine today but when we hooked up to shore power our other GFI outlet crackled and popped and we lost power on the starboard side of the boat. Just like the other day just the opposite side. We hope we can figure out what the heck is going on with the electrical system.  The one that we replaced the other day has been fine since. We will replace todays casualty when we can get another GRI outlet but without ground transportation that could be a while.

We finally went to a restaurant that was open. It was a couple of miles away and the food was reasonable and good. I had a steak. 
We took a taxi to and from.
