April17-19, 2015,   Dayton Beach to Jupiter

 

Friday - Departed marina at 0850.  Dropped our keys to a dockhand on the gas dock.  He had a long handled pool skimmer and the boater drops the keys in the extended net as they leave the harbor.   1201 went thru Edgewater FL and went past the Boston Whaler plant.  Went thru the Haulover canal again, at 1345 once again to see manatee and a few fishermen.  Big traffic difference between a weekend and weekday.  Anchored at 1740 just south of Cocoa Bridge.  Comfortable evening on the hook.

Saturday – Anchor up clean at 0753.  Started on the cruise south, anticipating a lot of boating traffic on the weekend.  On 0935 was pasted by Summer Slopes Too, another MTOA member.  Talked to Once Around, another Ocean Alexander, heading to the Bahamas.  Past Vero Beach marina at 1442. Continued on to Cocoa for the first night and anchored. Next we pulled up the anchor and began a long day that ended in Jensen Beach at anchor. It had been a 10 hour day but we were only 3 hours from Jupiter. Pulled into Jupiter Cove at 11:40 to our familiar slip.
