The day started pretty calm. In fact I was wondering why I had decided not to move today.. Around 9am we took the bus to the Publix grocery for one last provisioning run. Then when we got back it was really blowing hard. I had to angle the dinghy ride back to the boat so I took the waves perpendicular until I hit the tree line on the other side then ride to the boat.
We gathered up all the laundry and made a run in to do a couple of loads. Might be 2 weeks before we do laundry again.
That took awhile and then when we finished Karen had a hankering for some Thai food so we took the bus back to town for some Thai. It was very good at the Siam Orchid.
The wind laid down for awhile this afternoon but it is really honking again now as I write this. All the fenders are creaking against the boat I rafted to - Cherie. The other boat 'Homeward Bound' left today. Oh well when you want to go - you go.
Beginning tomorrow the weather will be better behaved for the next several days although the first 2 are forecast to be in the low 40s for the low but rising to near 70 each day. We expect to move for the next 4 days until we get to St. Augustine then stay an extra day there so Karen can do the museums she missed on the way down.
Not much else to report - just reviewing charts and directions for the next 4 cruising days, preparing to leave and I guess maybe another round of Mexican Train Dominoes with Celtic Cross tonight. In fact all the cruisers we are hanging with right now bought a set of Mexican Train Dominoes this week.
Should be a real traffic jam at the entrance to Vero Beach Marina as most of us leave to head north again tomorrow.
