January 9 - New Smyrna Beach, FL to Cocoa, FL (50 miles)

Weighed anchor and was underway at 0700.  Another windy, rainy day, but a least the temperatures were a little better with a high of 66 degrees.  Dropped anchor at Cocoa, FL at 1420.  I can hear all of the cruise ships (Disney Dream, etc) on the VHF making their security calls as they head out to sea from Port Canaveral (which is only a mile or so east of the anchorage) - kind of neat, particularly as the family and I took a cruise on that one a few years ago.  As we made good time today and anchored up fairly early, I was able to get online and actually get some work done on a new gub'ment project I started working on this week.  Hey - it's not all fun and games (and those drinks with the little umbrella's in them) down here!
