Day 80 – Took Our Dinghy to Town
Indian River - Anchorage

We continued to travel through the Indian River today. It's wide and looks more like a lake to me. People were out skiing and jet skiing...summer is close. We anchored out in Cocoa; it's near Cape Canaveral and was the setting for 'I Dream of Jeannie'. This was our first time to anchor and leave the boat where we couldn't see it while we were ashore. Cocoa has a dinghy dock near their historic downtown area, so we left the dinghy there and walked around town. 

Stan had to take a look at the S.F. Travis Hardware store...it's been in business since 1885. They advertise they have everything you need. Reminded us a lot of Melcher's Hardware, and they truly had a little of everything. We wandered through a few of the other stores and then had an early dinner at a little sidewalk cafe. Our anchorage tonight is right by a bridge, so it won't be as quiet and peaceful as last night, but it will do. We're planning on spending the holiday weekend in St. Augustine, so we have a couple of long days ahead of us.
