Time to Move

We took a great chance today by heading to Sebastian Inlet State Park without a reservation. South of Cape Canaveral and Melbourne and north of Stuart and West Palm Beach, we are camped on a spit of land separating the Atlantic from Indian River Intra-Coastal waterway. When we got here they had one site available for only 1 night but knew of a couple of people who would be moving out tomorrow so we could then move into one of those site. It was 85° when we got here but late afternoon the a front moved through and the wind kicked up and the temperatures started dropping.

We walked to the point on Indian River and watched six people kite surfing. It is so amazing to see them skimming along the surface on a snow board being pulled by a huge, colorful kite and then all of a sudden they hit a wave and are propelled into the air above the water. They gently land back on the water and take off and do it again. We then walked along the inlet and out on the pier into the Atlantic Ocean where the waves were crashing onto the sand. Several people were fishing off the end of the pier while others were surf fishing from shore. One brave (or stupid) young man was swimming in the surf. It has to be so cold!

I think we are going to like it here.
