As we left New Smyrna, we had to pass through the Haluover Canal and under the lift bridge. While we did not need to have the bridge open, we understand that it will not open when there is a launch at the Kennedy Space Center, which is just to the south of this section of the ICW. Our best guess is that too many people want to view the launches from the bridge....
Tonight finds the crew of Monarch anchored off Melbourne, Florida. We are in a large anchorage with 3 sailboats and another power boat. The anchorage is just south of the causeway from Melbourne to Indiatlantic, FL. There is plenty of space and we have good depth and swing room.
We enjoyed sitting on the flybridge with Carl and Nancy. There was a nice breeze that kept the bugs away.
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the anchorage. It seemed like the first time that we had been able to enjoy the western view and see the sunset. The weather has been warming as we move south, and we are feeling like we are in Florida.
