Happy Birthday America!

This 4th we went to Cocoa and anchored LaLeLu just south of the 520 along with many other boats including almost everyone we know from Harbor Town. Imagine was anchored up-channel from us and we took turns hanging out in each other's cockpits all afternoon. As darkness settled in, throngs of power boats arrived and the traffic on the bridge was stopped. Chris, Park and I dingied over to Imagine with our Sport Seats and sat on the bow with Kenny and Pam to watch the show. The scattered thundershowers called for by the Weatherman never arrived. The firework display garnered a respectable number of oooohs/aaaaahs. After the grand finale, we watched another light show as green and red nav lights of the power boats paraded back down the river to where ever they came from. The spectacular evening was followed by a very peaceful night on anchor.
