Titusville to Fort Pierce

Well we had a change of plans (what a surprise!!) and due to changing weather conditions we opted to run down inside to Lake Worth instead. I hope every one had a Great Thanksgiving...as you can see from the following pictures we did not lack any food or beverage.

Even the Admiral had a chance to don her party scarf and sit with the captain for a few bits of Ham and Turkey!!

After everyone had their fill it was time to enjoy some port with desert!!

Late morning the next day it was time to leave Titusville after a quick visit with our old friend Jon Keyes who was visiting his father in Sebastian. Our original intention was to jump outside at Port Canaveral about 18 miles down from Titusville and run outside overnight to Lake Worth but changing weather conditions and a non working auto pilot did not make hand steering all night seem all that appealing (at least to the first mate!!) Our friends John and Barbara on "Sam the Skull" agreed and decided to remain inside with us also. "Sam the Skull" is a PDQ (pretty darn quick) catamaran that hails from Scotland. The name comes from a song entitled Sam the Skull ( I'm a cat, I'm a cat, I'm a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull...) anyways from the following pictures you can see that when conditions are in their favor they had no trouble going by "Echo".

Along the way we saw many nice houses including this estate which also gave me my first "dolphin" photo...

We are currently anchored in Fort Pierce in a place called Farber Cove awaiting passage of the latest cold front...while here we enjoyed an evening of fine dining aboard "Sam the Skull" along with a rousing hand of euchre (the girls won!!) to top off the evening.

Tomorrow we will head off to Lake Worth where we will hopefully be able to make a short overnight hop to Miami where we can get caught up with some mail and get the auto pilot fixed (fingers crossed!!)
