Day's log for Tuesday, August 7th, 2001 - Mosquito Lagoon (north end), FL

0958 - raised anchor and got underway

At this point there was no wind and the water was completely flat.

I dinghied ashore to do laundry and to gather information about the Kennedy Space Center tours. I returned to the boat to do editing for this website

1830 - dinghied ashore to update the website and check email. As I approached the breakwater I saw a dog in the water. He was panting and appeared to be in distress. I was like "why not just swim for the breakwater". I called to him and tried to lead him ashore. Then someone on shore said "Man in the boat: he's ok; he's just looking for a manatee." I realised that I had to do some more quick editing to add this.

After dark, I dinghied back to the boat. As I paddled I noticed the strange green phosphorescence in the water. Someone asked about Andrea Lynn and at the same time I got a cell phone call.
