Great Loop 2nd & 3rd Day

Some days in March on the water in Florida can be chilly. 

Our 2nd stop, Titusville Municiple Marine near the Kennedy Space Center. The Atlantis Space Shuttle exhibit...breath taking... Always proud to be an American. This day brought tears to your eyes. 







A beach walk at the Merritt Island National Seashore. 
The marina in Titusville was a Manatee playground. 
We thought we would travel from  Daytona Beach to Saint Augustine today. But, predicted high winds and rain kept us in Daytona Beach another day. Many wise people tell us it is never a mistake to choose to be cautious. 

We took a break from boat work and walked to a store front movie theater downtown. 

Cinematique of Daytona is a non-profit, arts organization with the mission to bring international, national and local independent film to Daytona Beach. 


It is a large, single screen movie theater with two comfortable couches up front, 2 couches in back  and 4 top tables with heavily padded chairs in the center.  Surrounding the interior, they have high boys with directors chairs.  Inside the theater, you’ll find a Christie projector and a room-filling dolby digital surround sound system for a great movie-going experience.


You can order dinner or snacks from their menu and they bring your food to your table.  In addition to that, they also serve wine and cold beer. 


We saw "The Best Offer" staring Geoffrey Rush and Donald Sutherland. 


Definitely a one of a kind unique movie going experience. 

Saint Augustine is the next stop on our schedule. Low temperatures and high winds are predicted. Looks like we might be in Daytona another day. 

The weather has a major impact on our GO/NO GO decision making. 

This is pleasure boating. If the day on the water won't bring us pleasure, then we don't go. Sounds simple doesn't it? Well, it is not so simple for two recently retired go, go, go personalities to transform themselves into GO/NO GO people. Maybe this is our lesson to learn. :-)
