Wow - Vero Beach is much larger than I thought. They have everything here - shopping malls, theaters, you name it - it's here. The best part is the free bus service that stops at the marina and drops you off at various places along specific routes (like Walmart's, Sams, Target, Publix (groceries), Lowes, etc...). We weren't sure of the pattern so while waiting for the bus pickup I asked a couple of ladies how to get to West Marine and Lowes and got the scoop as well as an introduction to the bus driver who told us which bus to take where. While they were out of bus schedules, everyone was very helpful and friendly. It looks like most everything we want can be found by taking the number 1 or number 2 buses - very accommodating for cruisers! We went in search of the stainless bolts - first to Lowes and found quite a bit on our shopping list there but the bolts weren't the right size so we went to West Marine next and ordered some sanitary hose (for the macerator) checked out various things but still didn't find any bolts the correct size. The next delivery to the store is Saturday so it looks like we'll be here until then so we can get the macerator pump going.
After we got back to the marina we decided burgers and beer sounded pretty good so made a side stop at the Riverside Café before going back to the boat. I must say that their burgers are much better than their ribs and of course I got the cole slaw again (it's a winner).
