Vero Beach 85 degrees...ahhh...

We are safe and snug at our mooring in Vero Beach.  It's warm - very warm.  But that is OK!

The mooring field isn't as full as we've seen it.  Latitudes is fortunate to have a mooring ball all to herself.  That is nice because Smokey can wander around the deck of the boat comfortably (and not wander onto someone else's boat). 


Smoke is delighted to be at a quiet mooring again.  She rewarded herself on this accomplishment by taking a luxurious bath in the sun on the aft hatch.  This morning we were all treated to dolphins fishing next to the boat.  Always fun to watch.  I forgot to take a picture...maybe tomorrow.


The wind indicator is definitely broken (another trip up the mast confirmed that).  The replacement is on order and will arrive Friday for another trip up the mast.  Based on that, our plan right now is to rent a car later today, drive to Lake Worth tomorrow to renew my Local Boater Option with the Coast Guard, go a little further south to Lauderdale to spend the night with friends Ange and Ray, and then return home on Friday morning.

Luke is off right now - first trip in the dinghy this trip!  He's going to the marina to pick up mail, sign in, and get the ever important ice.  I defrosted the freezer this morning (the first of MANY times as the temperature and humidity go up).  Anyway, that gives me plenty of room for ice.



Note the shorts?  We can always wear shorts in Vero!!!
