Florida and all that!

A beautiful day spent aboard Kinky Turtle. Left Daytona at 7.30 a.m. I spent the night in the cockpit, apparently I had been snoring on previous nights. I didn't mind at all, it was a lovely night and when I was awake I could look at the stars and the reflections off the water! Long haul on the ICW with all of the accompanying wildlife. But still no Manatees?
Pulled into marina at Titusville near Canavaral. Peter very keen to make fish stew. We asked an elderly couple where to get fish, so they took us to the fish market in their truck. They then decided to come in with us and take us back again. Great!! No way we could have walked. Really friendly gesture.
Pete made great stew and we discussed the crossing to the Bahamas. 
Considered how many people own houses with docks and huge areas I.e. At least another house worth of mosquito netted area! We have seen thousands of docks that would cost more than my house. Boat lifts, summer houses, BBQ areas etc, with fabulous boats etc. do they know how fortunate they are? And where did they get all that money?
