It’s Tuesday morning and we’ve been in Vero Beach for a week now. We had hoped to spend a few more days here as it’s such a great spot. However, the weather seems to suggest that either we head out early in the morning tomorrow or we will have to hang out until the middle of next week. With that in mind, we’ll be heading down to anchor near the Ft Pierce inlet later this afternoon so we can jump out early on Wednesday to make the run down to the Ft Worth inlet, about 50 miles south. I spoke to Chris Parker, the weather router, earlier today and he thinks we will get a good sail in if we leave as planned. Let’s hope that he’s right. It will be nice to let Pandora stretch her legs for a bit. Fingers crossed.
Well, here’s a shot of Pandora on her mooring just off of the fuel dock today in Vero. A very nice day, if a bit cool.
The other day I ran into a post on a blog about guests on board a small sailboat. It seems to me that she captures the point pretty well although I am not personally too big on pets aboard. I am definitely too anal for the whole hair thing. Last night we had a very nice couple, Bob and Connie of SV/Meredith aboard for a “sundowner” and during the conversation he mentioned the 6-4-2 rule. Six for cocktails, four for dinner and two sleep over. That about sums it up for me and Brenda. Bob and Connie have been living aboard for years and have sailed extensively in the Med as well as the Caribbean, including Cuba. It was great to compare notes with them.
Anyway, speaking of guests on board and who sleeps over, this post on a site Where the Coconuts Grow, is pretty cute. Check it out. It seems that the author , Jodi is sailing in the Caribbean and there are some really great photos to boot. Here’s a link to her site, Where the coconuts Grow. Fun.
Perhaps we’ll be going where the coconuts grow next winter. Yes, technically we are there now but not THERE, way south in the Caribbean. For now, we are on our way, day by day.
