We have left Vero! We dropped the ball at 6:20 am and headed south on the Indian River for about 30 nautical miles. The prediction was for NE winds 10 to 15 mph. We got ESE. There was enough east to it to allow use of the headsail. We also had the current with us for most of the day. At the St. Lucie Inlet, we turned and headed up the St. Lucie River for about eight miles to Stuart. With the wind and current pushing us, our approach to the fuel dock was interesting. I decided to go around and approach from the opposite direction. Much easier.

Tomorrow will be a short day to Indiantown Marina, about five hours. Unless there is a dramatic change in the bridge height, Billie will tip us Wednesday morning around 8:00 am. Now we only have four inches of clearance. Billie's fee is cheap insurance.
