March 15 - 16
Loved the little town of Cocoa. We anchored out and took our dingy to the Lee Wenner Park dock where Ken explored the oldest and largest hardware store in Florida known as SF Trafis and Co. Like a kid in a candy store...We enjoyed the historic town and all of the antique and art stores. Just a trolley ride away from Coca and over the Merritt Island Preserve is the separate town of Cocoa Beach, known as the surfing capital of Florida. On our way back to the boat John and Rita invited us to dingy over and have supper with them. What a treat!
Next day we went to the Cocoa Village Marina and rented a car to drive to the Kennedy Space Center. John joined us and we had a wonderful time. We were able to see the retired space shuttle
Discovery. It's final touchdown was March 9, 2011 after spending 365 days in space.
