Cape Canaveral, Florida

We docked at Ocean Club Marina in Cape Canaveral, Florida at 9:00 am on Wednesday, May 24th.  I made fried egg and pastrami grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast.  Justin got everything sorted with the marina,  and then we caught an uber to customs and immigration.  Afterwards, we went to Kennedy Space Centre.  We spent the entire afternoon and early evening at the Space Centre.  We checked out some of the old rockets in the Rocket Garden.  We did a bus tour which showed us the Vehicle Assembly Building, a couple of crawler transporters, the 39A and B Launch Pads, and rocket support structure.  We were dropped off at the Apollo / Saturn V Centre, where we checked out the Apollo 18 rocket ship.  Afterwards, we checked out the Atlantis space shuttle.  We returned back to the boat for a few beers.  I took advantage of the internet, and caught up on the blog.

On May 25th, we took an uber to Walmart to get supplies.  I called family when we got back to the boat.  I tidied the boat while Mike and Justin readied the boat for departure. We left Ocean Club Marina at 1:30 pm.
