Lunch today at Dolphins on the Merritt Island barge canal.
(Disclaimer: dolphin is not on the menu.)
The canal bisects Merritt Island. It was carved in the early 1950s to connect the Banana and Indian Rivers. Port Canaveral had just been completed; this was part of a vision to one day dig a canal from the Atlantic to the Gulf.
For those who have seen my Drawbridge of Fate photos, this is the drawbridge from below.

To the west of Cape Crossing, just south of the barge canal, is the Indianola Pioneer Cemetery. Some of Merritt Island's earliest Anglo settlers are buried here.
