Jim-
I gave it some more thought. I'm pretty sure the Beeline is 520. You'll
go over one causeway, that's the Indian River. Get in the right lane.
It'll be either the next exit or the one after that. I think the exit is
Tropical Trail Drive. Anyway, if you see another big causeway coming up
and there's an exit, take that one. Merritt Island is pretty skinny at
the northern tip where you will be, and it won't be long after the Indian
River that you'll come up on the Banana River. Merritt Island is the
island between these two rivers both of which form the inland waterway on
the coast of Florida.
Good winds. If you don't get to sail, go down to Ron Jon's ("World's
Largest Surfshop") in Cocoa Beach and buy some baggies. They're open 24
hours now. You can also go to Cocoa Beach Pier and have a Pina Colada,
visit Kennedy Space Center to the north, gamble on a cruise out of Port
Canaveral, or go to Bunky's in Satellite Beach for some killer oysters
and shrimp.
