Cape Canaveral again.

Out of the water again!
Just needing to do some maintenance work on the boat, the engines have been smoking a little on start up.   So the fuel injection pumps need to be changed, and other jobs too.  There is always a big list, take one thing off it and add another two!
Our good friend, Peter, lent us his car for the duration of our stay and the boat made a great garage for it!
The anchor chain that we bought in Turkey a couple of years ago had gone terribly  rusty.  So we took it all off the boat and it went off to Jacksonville for a holiday to be re-galvanized.  It was 'hot dipped' and it comes back with some of the links stuck together.  So here I am with my hammer bashing the joined links apart, my kind of job!
Another beautiful sunrise over the marina, with one of the large cruise ships docking at the port.
And of course a visit to Cape Canaveral would not be complete without seeing a rocket  being launched.  This one was a Delta rocket, which apparently a spy satellite, so one of the residents informed us.
