We left early the next morning from Titusville so we could get out of the tricky harbor before the wind picked up. We were out on the intercoastal by 7:30 and in light rain to our next destination, Melbourne, FL. Melbourne was settled in 1877 and by 1885, the town had 70 people! In the 1920s. C. P. Singleton, a Harvard University zoologist, discovered the bones of a mammoth on his property along Crane Creek.
We had a smooth trip despite the rain and an early arrival by 11 a.m. We walked to an amazing ‘farm to field’ lunch at The Nomad Cafe in Melbourne. Due to the rain, we went back to the boat for an afternoon movie - ‘Deadmen Tell No Tales’. At dusk, Jody and I walked out to the point to see if we could spot dolphins or manatees that are known to frequent the area, but none were about. Dave Shirtzinger, who now lives in Cape Canaveral, drove out to have cocktails on the boat and we all headed off for dinner at the Chart House.
