Up at 0530 for coffee and breakfast and then we got underway at 0730. It was another boring day of following the magenta line through the shallow waters. We ran into a heavy rain storm about five miles from our destination, Vero Beach. We arrived about 1400, stopped at the fuel dock, took on fuel and water and then moved to a mooring where we rafted together with Whisper and Day-O. Larry’s dinghy motor would not start so once the boats were secured together, we put our dinghy in the water and took Larry and Judy in so they could shower. After everyone had showered, friends of Larry, Walter and Maggie came with 2 cars and drove us to dinner at the Ocean Grill. We had a great meal and a good time. They took us back to the marina where we dinghied back to our boats.
While we were gone Buddy dragged out his bag of dry cat food and helped himself. After we cleaned up his mess, we watched a little TV and fell asleep. Later another rain shower woke us up so we closed the ports and hatches and now I am writing this log note before I turn in for the evening. We’re almost to Stuart where we will stop for a week or two.
Location: Vero Beach, FL moorings at ICW MM 952. Today’s progress: 34 Statute Miles
