The passage to our next free dock stop was uneventful. We saw many dolphins along the way, and went through several manatee zones, but we saw no manatees. We could see the Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape Canaveral for many miles while we seemed to be making a huge semi-circle around it. This is the building where rockets and space shuttles are assembled prior to being moved to their launching pads and is one of the largest buildings in the world. We could also see a space shuttle on a launching pad across the water, but it was too far away to get a good picture.
We reached the free dock in Cocoa, FL while sweltering in the record breaking heat. Many boats were anchored out, but no other boats were tied up at the dock. We walked into the nearby town shopping area and ran into someone we had met at St. Augustine. It's funny how we keep running into the same people in our travels.
After suffering through another hot and humid night of record breaking Florida heat and humidity without power and worrying about the homeless people we had seen around the park, we decided that free docks are just not worth it. We'll be staying at marinas from now on barring any really unusual circumstances.
