It was a little bumpy behind the Melbourne Causeway. I'm sure Dragon Point would have been smoother.
We had a nice ride to Vero. The wind piped up to 20+ knots in the Indian River but it was directly behind us and since we had to zig zag through there we gave up on motor sailing and just motored. We caught a favorable current and were doing 7+ kts with no sail up so no joy lost.
It is a beautiful sunny day here although blustery. I was sweating having to raft to an unknown boat in this wind but when we called the marina they put us on the last free ball. Thus we are all to ourselves for awhile. There are several boats alone on balls, a few doubles and no triples yet. We will enjoy this solitude for awhile.
Apparently the bus schedule has changed and the different drivers have different understandings. We will just have to persevere tomorrow on our run to West Marine and the Publix.
We met John and Madeline from Chanceaux at the lounge. Got caught up on doings and will see more of them later.
Tomorrow we will do any necessary provisioning, pick up my new inverter and then just retire back here to the boat.
Ohhh our other cockpit chair latching mechanism failed this morning. I tried to fix it this afternoon but my drill bit broke. Got to run to the hardware to get another to finally fix it. There is a hardware store about 3/4 mile away and I'll be breaking my bike out for the first use on this trip.
