The World's Best Mooring Contest

Cocoa, Florida
Perhaps my engineering background has made me a clod, but I chose this anchorage 33 years ago and have never regretted it. It is functional. One glance out the rear window and I know the boats are secure. We have withstood hurricanes with no damage. Maintenance, provisioning, everything short of a haul out is simplified and convenient. We can do easy local cruising in the powerboat and anywhere else in the sailboat. One bridge and a set of locks are all that stand between us and the deep blue sea and nothing to the Intracoastal for day sailing. Access to the world is restricted only by our own limitations. We have covered the ICW from Key West to Hilton Head Island, The Abacos many times, and even one round trip to Bermuda. Work, in the past, and now old age control our horizons, but we have enjoyed our kind of sailing since we started in 1937. Not everybody is destined to circumnavigate, but that does not minimize the joy we have had. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is fun. We are sited Lat 28.45 deg N, Long. 080.75 deg W
