so close to many wondeful attractions, quiet, friendly people

Fire Ants, alligators, spiders and snakes. Take a Clark's Jungle Hammock or a Hennessey Hammock so you are off the ground and covered in mosquito netting.
In a nutshell
Great For an Afternoon of Beach-Time Fun and Sun!

Village Ice Cream and Sandwich Shoppe: DISGUSTING!
stephdogg07 Says: This place has the worst service. They are so unfriendly. No one greets you when you walk in or while you stand to order. They expect you to talk to them first. They advertise on their board new flavors but when I asked for one, the lady rudely told me they would not open...

The Dog n' Bone British Pub: Interesting Name
grandmaR Says: As we were walking back to the boat, we saw this place and there was a woman on a cell phone out front. We didn't go in - it was a bit early for them anyway. But the name looked interesting.This is apparently quite a place for live music. Other than the fact that it has...

grandmaR Says: We did take the City Tour for $6.00 instead of the the Riverside Tour for $15.00. There's another picture of the full carriage on the Intro page. This lady brings her black Percheron gelding Thunder, her carriage and one of her Jack Russell terriers, and gives carriage rides...
grandmaR Says: The main downtown area of the old village is made for walking and not for cars. The sidewalks are all nice brick. I'm not sure whether this car was giving rides or what. It was an late closing Saturday night, and he was parked opposite the carriage ride station.

grandmaR Says: "Once upon a time," starts the story in the March April 2002 Cocoa Village, (as any good story should), "Stone Street (formerly Magnolia Street) came all the way through from U.S.1 to Brevard Avenue in Cocoa Village. There was no tranquil little park, bubbling water...
Historic Cocoa Village Craft Fair
grandmaR Says: We were here well before the Summer Fair, but I took a picture of the sign. Cocoa Village has four craft shows a year. Craftsmen can not only display and sell their work, but can also have it judged and win prizes at the Summer Fair. It is very popular and often sells out of...
there snakes, best just to leave them alone it's hard to tell which are posionous and which are not. Also dehydration Drink a lot of water or gatoraides, lay off the cokes and sugar drinks. Driving can be a little hectic so always be alert. Also on the beach be careful or riptides and scandelers.

Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: Water Resistant is you have them. I would also recomend easy to clean Luggage. I give you this warning because sand get's into everything and you dont' want to ruin good luggage
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: pack: shorts, Swimsuites, tank tops, sandals, tennis shoes, hats or sunglasses ( to keep the sun out of your eyes), light pants like windsuit pants, and a poncho or unbrealla ( in the summer they have rain showers almost daily). bring also light sweaters it does get codl at nightespecially on the beach.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: vinigear (just in case you et stung bye a jellyfish), sun block, aloe vera or sun burn relief cream, lots of lotion ( so you don't dry out). with all the basic toletries
Photo Equipment: all I can say is Water proof cameras.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: the basic things like towels, unbreallas, coolers ( no glass though) andif you have them boogie booards and surf boards ( you can rent them though.

grandmaR Says: Somewhere in my stuff I think I have "Cocoa Village - The Historic Way" a self guided walking tour by the Brevard Heritage Council. We did some of this tour. But I can't find it now and I can't find anything on the internet either. The best I can do is what is this from...

Helpfulness
This marina apparently no longer takes transients - only people who belong to the yacht club who live in the condos that are next door.
Equipment: We got to the Whitley Marina at about 1600 and tied up after a trip of 288 nm total, and a trip today of 54.8 sm at an average speed of 6.1 mph. There was a guy with a black and white border collie type dog on an Egg Harbor that helped with the docking.
I went up and paid and got maps and information at the marina office, and after we put everything away, we walked up into town. After dinner, we walked out through town - most of the shops were open still. There was a street player, and a horse and carriage with a lady driver with a Jack Russell giving carriage rides.
April 4, 2004 - Sunday
When I reset my watch to daylight savings, I accidentally also advanced the date by one day. So when I write in my journal, I'm a day behind where my watch says I am.
Saw SANCTUARY (a CSY 37) at the old docks for this marina. Also got to watch a comedic docking operation by a power boat. He could not get docked stern to the dock even with 3 people on the boat and about 5 or 6 people standing on the docks and finger piers to help pull on lines. He eventually gave up and docked bow in.

Left relatively early April 5th while the wind was not too strong, and went up to Titusville.

We spent two nights here, great beaches and atmosphere, but so good to see a shuttle launch!
