Titusville to Lake Worth

We rode down the ICW using our new steering rig and people passed by wondering and even sometimes asking about our carriage-like system. It was funny when people would pass us and look like they couldn't figure out how or who was "driving" the boat. We take ~7 hours to get from Ponce Inlet to Titusville. We anchor with plenty of space all around because there is nothing in this town and we don't even go to shore. JR saw a huge manatee swim up to the surface of the water after we ate dinner and I was in the cabin doing the dishes. I missed it, just like I missed the tiger shark he saw earlier today while we were traveling on the ICW. Then next morning we continued traveling down south, but we anchor for an hour at Cocoa Beach to allow a bad storm to pass us. Then we end up in Melbourne and anchor out. We decide not to go to shore here either and continue traveling south to Fort Pierce the next day. We see the water change colors here just like we did at Fort Matanzas past St. Augustine due to the ocean water mixing with the brackish river water. After we finish anchoring outside Harbor marina, we see a pair of manatees come to the surface and swim under the stern of our boat. I could only see their tails, but it was better than nothing. :) We get more fuel and ice at the marina and use their shower facilities and eat at the restaurant there. The blackened fish sandwich was huge and tasty and JR said their blackened burger was good too. We heard about the gator called Tater that used to swim in the waters and became domesticated with people feeding it from the restaurant. The bartender lady told us it was like National Geographic over there with the gator in the water, the opossum hanging in the trees, and Tibby, the Siamese cat she was trying to tame. The next day we travel down to Lake Worth in North Palm Beach. We find the anchor site to be almost deserted. We actually find the whole area to be a ghost town so we don't go to shore. We figure this is a summer vacation town and that was why no one was around. We saw tons of catfish under our boat and in the morning we saw a sea turtle wave three times with it's flipper. What else would it be doing? :)
