More sailing sailboats. Don't see this much on the ICW, but we saw several today.
Big barge. The tall poles are used to anchor. When he gets to where he wants to stop, he just drops them down into the bottom and he stays put.
We know they are having boats raft together on mooring balls and we have planned to raft with Rocking B.We have several friends already at Vero so we arranged to have people on Rocking B so they could help handle the lines.
We called about an hour before we expected to get there and they were out shopping. So, we slowed down to give them time to get back to the marina to help us. Vero has a great free bus service and its great for us boaters, but today it was running a little late, so we slowed down even more.
Shay had put on fenders and lines so all I had to do was hand off to Gigi, Vic, and Earl. They made the process so easy. It's not easy to go up to a boat and get lines tied to it without getting on it. And I don't jump from one boat to another, so thanks guys!
Yeah, we are next to the ballfield and the dog park.
Our trip
We left Morehead City on October 31 and today is November 20 so we have been traveling about 3 weeks. We usually take about a month to do this trip. Why were we in such a hurry? Anyway... We have traveled 683.76nm, got 2.07nm/gallon of diesel, used 3.044g/hr and averaged 6.356nm/hr and put a little over 108 hrs on the engines We need to slow down, spend more time at places, and use less fuel!
We are staying in Vero or Velcro, since people like it so much they get stuck here for a while. We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving meal here Thursday.
We know lots of people here now and lots more will be coming thru. We are moored near Roger and Lorrie on Reality, Vic and Gigi are here on Salty Turtle, and Earl and Cathy are here on Seeker. We look forward to spending time with old friends and meeting new ones.
We will be here at least thru Christmas. Then we are not sure what our plans will be. Washington , DC or Green Turtle Cay?
