On Monday we were out at the pool early enjoying morning coffee. I went back to the room and fixed us a quick breakfast - an English muffing with peanut butter...............and we continued to sit at the pool for most of the day.
That evening we had been invited to play pickleball at the South Beach Community Park down on Melbourne Beach - about a 45 minute drive south from Cocoa Beach. Scott Nelson - one of the USAPA ambassadors for the area asked Rich to clinic for some of the players. So the plan was to arrive between 5:30 and 6:00 - do the clinic for about an hour and then play.
There were a bout 13 players from the Melbourne Beach area, and three that drove down from Merritt Island. Pictured above is the group from Melbourne Beach. They have a very nice set up there with three courts for playing. The only problem, even though the divider was pulled down the center of the court was that it was pretty noisy during the clinic with folks playing basketball on the other side of the gym. But we had a wonderful time meeting some new pickleball players - and we are planning on coming back on Wednesday to play for a few hours. That's our friend Scott on the far left with his son just next to him.
We enjoyed the drive down along SRA1A that follows the Atlantic shoreline and passed by Patrick's Airforce Base.
