Mosquito Lagoon Anchorage

Up early, we weighed anchor at Bluefish Point anchorage and headed North.

Our route would take us something like this..

Route 2 Bluefish - Oak Hill

As we were transiting Haulover Canal I had to laugh as I was flashed by a bird.

We decided on an anchorage called Mosquito Lagoon (I know, not a inviting name).

This lagoon is near Oak Hill, FL and has many fish camps where local fishermen have camps along the shore.

While listening to the VHF the USCG was warning about restricted areas around Cape Canaveral to the South of us. There was a SpaceX launch or their Titan 9 rocket and we wanted to be on anchor with a view for when it started.

Seeing a rocket fly over your head is both impressive and a bit unnerving.

Shortly after the launch we saw what may have been a re-entry from the reusable parts of the rocket? Something SpaceX pioneered.

No sooner had the rocket passed overhead and we were treated to a beautiful sunset and a present moon.
