A few pictures from Vero Beach

A little catch-up for our visit here in Vero Beach.  A couple of days ago Luke and Dave drove out to Sebastan Inlet, about 15 miles north of here.  A nice inlet, but we are blocked from using it due to a 37 foot high bridge near the entrance.  We need 62 feet to clear.  The day was clear and the water blue.  Here is the inlet, taken from that 37 foot bridge.  The jetty going out into the water has a fishing pier at the end.


The pier was crowded with Saturday morning fishermen (and fisherwomen)



There is a fish cleaning area near the pier.  The birds don't miss out on that!  The cute pelicans rule.



Wood Storks aren't cute, not at all, but they sure are in the mix, too.  They are big!


Long time family friends Ange and Ray visited on Sunday.  We went for a leisurely boat ride up the ICW and enjoyed getting together again. 



It's been great seeing Marina and Dave.  We've had dinners with them, and they have generously let us borrow one of their cars.  That has been a tremendous help in provisioning, errands, etc.

Boat work tomorrow, a PT appointment for my ankle on Wednesday, and then we will probably be leaving Vero for this trip.  We do always enjoy our time here, though.
