Quick motor down the ICW

Just a short 3 hour jaunt further south to Cocoa Beach. We have a great anchor spot here right off the bank of Cocoa Village, which is a quaint little walking area with shops and British Pubs! Weather was beautiful. Mid-70s and sunshine. So good to be in warm weather. One thing we noticed is a massive number of damaged boats on both sides of the ICW. They we obviously hit hard with a hurricane. We dinghied to what was a closed public park/dock, though we didn’t know that till we parked and had to climb a fence to get out! Spent a couple hours walking around the village. Had a bit of a scare when Holly noted the AirTag attached to our brand new outboard appeared to be across town and not with the rib! We quickly walked to the location and tracked it to the trunk of a beat up Toyota with temp tags but no one around. We then high-tailed it back to the dinghy only to find our outboard securely mounted to the rib! WTH?!?!? So we got a high impact, high heart rate workout to close the night for no other reason than that! Still left unable to explain this! May spend another day here and enjoy the town. Weather is to be good today and colder during the weekend, so felt it would be better to travel then. We are only 3 longish days from our destination in Stuart.
