Up on Thursday the 5th, we continued north on the ICW, covering 55 miles to Eau Gallie—home of one of our favorite stops, the Eau Gallie Yacht Basin. On our last visit we discovered the Cottage Irish Pub, a cozy spot where local Irish musicians gather to sing and play the old songs. We returned as soon as we tied up, and with Peggy alongside we had another wonderful evening of music, laughter, and that unmistakable Irish charm.
Friday was an easy morning. With only 18 miles to travel to Cocoa Village Marina, we took our time with chores, coffee, and catching up on the news. After nearly three weeks together, it was bittersweet to see Peggy head off. Her son Kyle drove over from Orlando to pick her up for a weekend with the grandchildren, and from there she’ll make her way back home—hopefully to a warm Colonial Beach.
We’ll be here a few more days visiting Carey’s cousins who live nearby. Below are a few photos from our night at the Cottage Irish Pub, where the musicians sat in a circle and played their hearts out. A truly great evening.
