Marooned in Cocoa

I’m not complaining, there are far worse places to be stuck at. Beautiful village with lots of cute shops and restaurants.

We wandered around yesterday when we arrived and met the boat mechanic to look at our motor situation. He wasn’t sure we could pull it out and replace it without hauling the boat out of the water.

To do that we would have to move the boat back a few miles north to the Port Canaveral area to a boatyard that could handle it. Because her beam is 18′ some yards don’t have a wide enough lift, but apparently this one does.

So today we are hanging out in Cocoa Village, waiting to hear from the mechanic. If they can get the motor within a week and haul it out we might just wait rather than drive back and forth.

We made a trip to Tanners Hardware store for a few supplies. It makes you feel like you’re back in the 40’s, a two-story building full of everything, on dusty shelves throughout. I’m working on organizing the storage room better.

It’s that nesting thing I guess
