We departed the Vero Beach mooring field a little after 0800. Wind has shifted around to the NE so we sail with the jib and pickup about 1 mph of speed at times. Near Sebastian Inlet, we really need the jib’s help running against the outgoing current. It’s a slow boring run to the Melbourne and we are consuming a lot more fuel than normal. We decide to push on past our scheduled anchorage at MM918, however the fuel tank is almost empty. I dump in the 5 gallons of backup fuel and we push onward hoping to make it to Titusville or thereabouts.
Near dusk, we decide to stop at Addison Point (MM885) and anchor in the south lee of the bridge there. There are seven other boats in the anchorage area. We do dinner and call it a day.
Location: Addison Point south of Titusville at MM 885. Boat distance traveled, 67 miles.
