We left Mosquito Lagoon before 7 am and headed out into sunny skies, little wind and a temperature of 54°F. At the Jay Jay railroad bridge, mile 876.6, a barge was blocking our passage with some repair work was being done to the bridge. We dropped the anchor and waited just under an hour with three other boats for the barge to clear the way and allow us to pass.
It was such a lovely morning that we did not mind the break at all. In fact, we were expecting it to be another hour before we could get through and were slightly disappointed to be cleared so quickly.
We enjoyed the beautiful day on the waterway and arrived in Melbourne, Florida, late in the afternoon where we threw out the hook and still had about 45 minutes to sit out on the bow and watch the sun go down before dinner.
