Continuing South on the ICW
1/5 - Left Halifax Harbor Marina for Titusville Marina
1/6- Left our mooring ball at Titusville Municipal Marina and headed south. Stopped at Cocoa Village Marina as weather was getting a bit gnarly.
1/7 - Traveled from Cocoa Village Marina and anchored out near the Pelican National Wildlife area along the Indian River.
1/8 - Left the Pelican National Wildlife area and traveled to Jensen Beach where we took a mooring.
1/9 - Left Jensen Beach mooring and traveled down to Lake Worth, anchoring pretty far south in the anchoring field as it was very full. Had a bit of an issue anchoring at first, but finally found a good spot. This is where we began hitting all of the bridges...
1/10 - Lake Worth/Palm Beach to DelRay City Marina. This was a lovely spot and so we decided to stay for the weekend!
1/13 - DelRay Beach to Sunrise Bay. Again, lots of bridges!!
1/14 - Interesting day. Went from Sunrise Bay, stopped at Publix which has a large store with dock in Hollywood and then continued on to Bakers Haulover Basin at Oleta River State Park. Such a lovely area, we decided to stay for an extra day!
1/16 - Traveled from Bakers Haulouver Basin to No Name Harbor at Key Biscayne. Delightful harbor - but became rather tight. Stayed for the weekend as too many nutcases out on the water!
1/19 No Name Harbor/Key Biscayne to Steamboat Creek anchorage in north Key Largo. Dragged anchor a bit in the early morning, but it reset itself.
1/20 - Steamboat Creek anchorage to Tarpon Basin Anchorage in Key Largo. No real shore access although there were some mangrove tunnels that we paddled through. Got stuck/grounded coming in - TowBoat to the rescue. Stayed for a couple of days - weather got bad and going the back way through the keys...we were concerned.
1/24 - Tarpon Basin to IslaMarina in Islamarada. Overpriced marina with little to no service, but first mate needed a marina!!
1/26 - IslaMarina (overpriced and underserviced marina) to Lignumvitae Key State Park and used a free mooring ball.. Stayed an extra day and paddled around the key.
1/28 - Lignumvitae Key mooring ball to Boot Key. Couldn't get a mooring ball right away - so dropped the anchor just east of the Bridgt to Nowhere and got on the waiting list. 6 days later we got our mooring!!
