Just a travel day

Not much to write about this evening.

We left the mooring field a little after 7am and just "locked" into the channel and carried on. The tide in these parts is less than a foot so there was no appreciable assist or restraint from a tidal current. We just plugged along at are usual 6.4 - 6.6 motor cruising speed. Not enough wind to motor sail so just motored along. The Indian River is quite wide here so there was little to look at. Two sailboats passed us in the opposite direction and 2 trawlers passed us. That's it! As of 4:30pm this afternoon we are the only boat in this little anchorage.

The weather conditions were very mild and expected to continue overnight so instead of stopping at Dragon Point and anchoring we continued on another 5 miles to the Melbourne Causeway and anchored behind it. There is some bouncing here but not bad. We were in around 1:30pm so just a 6.5 hour run today.

Only 32 miles to Vero Beach tomorrow. Looking forward to getting in and tieing up for several days.
