Doc's Holiday handled the waves well....except for when two sports cruisers snuck up on us and badly waked us. If they had called to tell me they were passing I could have moved over, slowed down and crossed into wake to minimize the roll but they didn't. No VHF call, No sound signals. No nothing. Didn't see them until they were beside me. Idiots! I was on automatic pilot and at any time the boat wanders somewhat from side to side. They could have run right into me! The name on the back of one of them was "No Self Control"! Right name! I should have reported them but I was more anxious to get anchored in the wind as soon as possible.
Surprisingly we eased into 4 feet of water just north of the mooring field in Titusville and the anchor set on first try. Whew! Nice view of the land, somewhat protected from the north west wind which settled to 5 to 10 knots overnight and a great view of the dozen or so boats that were really sparsely separated in this large bay.
The wind had loosened our bimini top so we folded up and tide it down with a rope, knowing that if we move the boat to Daytona Beach the next day we would experience the same wind. The boat is thick with salt from the spray so we may go only as far as New Smyrna Beach, get a slip so we can wash the salt off the boat and wait for the good weather predicted for tomorrow.
