We planned to anchor off Coco, FL this evening, but were stopped about 3NM short when conditions rapidly deteriorated to our north and west. When NOAA posted a warning of the severe thunderstorm moving southeast we moved eastward out of the channel into 7 feet of water. The anchor set firmly and I added a generous extra helping of chain. Better to be out here with plenty of swing room and no other vessels to worry about; than crowded onto the Coco Anchorage.
The worst of the initial stormed passed to our west, but thunder continues to rumble around the area.
We will call it a day, and press on to Titusville tomorrow.
