We've been out of our dry storage marina now for about a week, and have made a little progress on our journey north. We still have work to do on the boat so we are hanging out here in Vero Beach which is a very nice place to stay for awhile and wait for things to warm up further north. The City Marina here is one of the best we've stayed in, and has all the amenities that a cruiser looks for: affordable mooring buoys, convenient dingy dock with water available, wi-fi that reaches out to the moorings, laundry and shower facilities and garbage disposal, and the real bonus is this area has a free bus that picks up right at the marina for trips to the beach or to town. What more could we ask for! The marina is located out on the barrier island which we have found is the nicer side to be on when travelling the ICW. This is the island that creates the waterway with the Atlantic ocean on one side and the canal on the other. We can't help but wish the west coast had such a thing. It would make exploring the west coast by boat so much easier. The weather here has been wonderful. Sunny and warm during the day, but it cools off nicely at night. We are enjoying the change from our usual sweltering tropical temperatures in past years when down in Central America. Our plan is to slowly work our way north to St. Augustine by the end of February. It is near the Georgia border, and we will wait there until temperatures start warming up in March. So I'll make occasional postings on our way, but not much exciting to report on at this point. I need to get my camera out more. The pictures I have so far are all from my new phone.
