This is sunset as seen from our boat in Vero Beach. Yes, it is easy to slip into the relaxed life here at Vero Beach.We have been doing small boat projects, buying a few more provisions, and yes even get a few more boat toys.
It has been fun catching up with the cruisers who are here. Three other boats from Northwest Creek Marina came in this week, John and Madeleine, on Chanceux, Bill and Margaret on Margareta and Bryan and Sonya on Flash II. We all went to lunch Monday at Panera. It was fun catching up with what everyone had been doing since leaving NC.
We have also enjoyed catching up with first season cruising friends, Jocks Lodge, Endoxi and Winsome. We helped Ann and Mike, on Beans, move their car. We had the use of the car for a day and shared a provisioning run with Salty Paws. It was wonderful to see the "Beaners". We are looking forward to seeing everyone again in the Bahamas.
The weather has finally moderated and we have pulled out our shorts! The weather is also cooperating to allow for a crossing window this weekend. Our plan is to leave Vero Beach on Saturday morning, take the waterway to Fort Pierce. We will go out the Fort Pierce Inlet and head for the Bahamas. The seas are predicted to be 3 or less and the winds calm, a perfect motor boat crossing day, which is what we prefer. The winds will pick up after we get on the banks and allow for some slow sailing. We will head to Great Sale Cay in the Abacos and check in at either Spanish Cay or Green Turtle Cay.
