SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch


We’re still sitting in Faber’s Cove by the Fort Pierce inlet!  We had decided to stay a day to get to some boat jobs, and have been here for 3+ days  J

A couple of Canadian boats came into the cove yesterday, and we shared happy hour with them aboard our boat today. Al & Brenda on their 36’ S2 “Haven” (from the same Trenton yacht club as Rob & Serena on Vita), and Phil & Krista on their 38’ Island Packet “Harmonium Cays” from Toronto have been travelling together since they met in Elizabeth City. During happy hour, Brenda’s keen eyes spotted movement in the sky… the SpaceX launch of their Falcon 9 rocket (which had been postphoned at least a couple of times).... the first commercial satellite launch!  So glad the skies had finally cleared, and we were able to witness this right from our boat ....







Earlier in the day, we were all out on the jetty watching other sailers coming in against the tide...
 Phil, Krista, Brenda & Al 

 Al & Brenda ... is anyone out there?
