Pine Island, Fl to Serenity Island, Fl

Miles Traveled 21.3
Total Miles Traveled 2546
Day 188

We stayed at anchor until 11 this morning; we were only cruising about 20 miles today.  Although we tried to make reservations in early February, we couldn’t find a marina with slips available around Cocoa until Thursday, so we took our time getting to Serenity Island, not far from Palm Bay, Fl.  We had a variety of scenery today, when we left our anchorage, the waterway was narrow lined with mangroves and small islands.  As we rounded a bend we passed condo row.



Sometimes it’s hard to read the channel markers.



The waterway opened up and we started to see dolphins again.  I rode on the bow for awhile trying to get a few pictures but couldn’t get one good enough for the blog.  I did get a picture of my best mate at the helm.


The last several miles leading up to our anchorage was lined with small islands and sandy beaches.  They are pretty inviting but it is very shallow water leading up to them.




We dropped our anchor in about 7 feet of water behind Serenity Island, we noticed seven dolphins swimming between us and the island but I couldn’t get a good picture. 

Gene from “Galene” is on pirate watch.



Sunset at our anchorage, tomorrow we arrive at Cocoa, Fl.
