Just got back from today's Shuttle launch this afternoon. From 6
miles away it makes a lot of noise! Unfortunately. there was some
cloud cover, so we didn't get to see the SRB's separate, but it was
still fun. Only one more launch left. See it while you can.

The founder of the company lives in Port Orange in the same flying
community that John Travolta lived in... until he bought his 707. He
gave us a golf cart tour and bought dinner last night. Very nice
place.

Washed all the love bugs off the front of the 'vette and put her up.
1st road trip in her, sweet ride.

On topic? Lots of boats, causeways, bridges, and water. And of
course, Florida.

What's not to like? We were docked in Miami last night and had hoped
we might catch a glimpse of the launch this morning but no luck - too
much cloud cover to the north and too far away. We did catch a night
launch from Titusville two years ago and that was pretty spectacular.

Beautiful weather today as we cruised north up the beaches. Caught a
smallish bonito just south of Palm Beach Inlet, steaked it out, and
are now in the process of broiling it for dinner. Smells delicious.
