Vero Beach Mooring Field



11/18/11
Here  are on a mooring in Vero Beach....high today was 76 degrees, comfortable, but very windy. Last night we were happy to be on a safe mooring....gusts were 35 knots. Yesterday we took the free bus into town to the Publix for a few fresh items...although the refrig is acting "iffy"...Don't want to put in too much. Yesterday evening we rode the dinghy in for a "Cruisers Happy Hour" on the Marina Grounds...seems they have one every Thursday for the cruisers to get to know one another. It is really funny how we keep running in to the same boats/people. We feel like a moving neighborhood at times. It was great fun. Captain Ron, with my assistance,
..spent the day trying to install another hand pump but it was too big, so it has to be returned...and the job lingers on.....
We plan to take a slip on Sunday and rent a car to drive to the airport. Then, we will catch a flight to "family Thanksgiving" in Maryland. This is a highly complicated undertaking when it is done last minute, as we are doing it. It is even more of a risk for the Captain, as the first mate may just jump ship!
