Titian 4 Space Shot

A fellow cruiser told us that a Titan 4 rocket would be launched from Cape Canaveral on the 19th. We decided to go. We exited the ICW heading east on the Canaveral barge canal looking for an anchorage.

We anchored in the Banana River about 6 miles from the pad.

Sandy and Jim awating the launch.

At approx. 7:30 the Titan launched and lifted away. Very noisy and spectacular.

The rocket disappearing into space. A thrilling experience.

The Captain had been experiencing stomach pains during the night, in the morning we found out why!
