Day 3, Tuesday, April 15, 2008 (Tax Day)

I awoke at 0600 to temperatures near 50°F and winds at 15 knots. The morning forecast calls for winds increasing to 30 from the north. We decided to stay put another day.

Around noon, we called Larry to see if he and Walter got underway leaving Stuart. Both were cold, but they were moving north, however, they were only making 4.5 mph against the wind. Their “plan” was to make approximately 70 miles today. I wished them luck, and Larry said he would call back when he was closer to Vero Beach.

About 1530 hours, Larry called and said he was within sight of the first bridge near us and he would be stopping for the night. After securing his boat to a mooring not far away, Larry and Walter dinghied over and invited us to diner aboard Whisper.

We enjoyed dinner with the “boys” and returned to Ninkasi at sundown. Weather check does not look favorable for Wednesday. Decided to check again in AM.

Started a new book and fell asleep reading.

Location: Still stuck in Vero Beach
