We got up at the crack of dawn and were now headed for Daytona Beach where we anchored that evening. Next day we were off to Tittisville where we met up with Colin Beckman who was in Florida looking at a potential new boat. He spent the night with and we kicked him off the boat early the next morning as we were heading for Melbourne. The next morning we did not have to get up too early and we were only a short distance for Vero Beach (aka Velcro Beach). We arrived on Sunday December 11th and picked up a ball in the mooring field and ten minutes later another boat had been assigned to the same ball. It is a common practice here to have up to three boats on one mooring. The rules in this mooring field are that the first boat puts fenders out on the side where the next boat has to rafts to. They then put fenders out of the open side for the next boat. Another fifteen minutes and there was another boat circling that had also been assigned to the ball. We now had three large boats on one mooring and estimated that were was over 100,000 lbs. on one mooring......seemed like a lot to us but what do we know. We are only the newbie cruisers. So now here we sit in Vero Beach and will probably spend Christmas here and get the solar panels and the watermaker finally completed. However, the first job was to go the post office and get the empty box to send the computer
