Moored in Vero Beach




Bum's Rest left Melbourne Harbor Marina approx 8am this morning. Chuck & Kathy on Sheet Music will catch up with us tomorrow here in Vero Beach. As you can see from the pix, that dark cloud poured on us for about ten minutes. The rest of the day was overcast, with a few sprinkles. We motored for 37 miles today. The ICW had lots of little islands along the way. It was very different to see.





At one time this used to be a fruit dock. Three years ago, when we stopped here, the couple who own this place were in their ninties. They gave each boat 1 grapefruit. Only had to pay for electric. Don't know if they are still around. But, maybe we'll stop on our return trip home.                                                                                                                                                                                       


We arrived at Vero Beach Municipal Marina and mooring field approx 1:30pm. Mile Marked # 951.4 We went to the fuel dock to fuel up. Of course, I jumped off with Sailor to do his business. From there we motored down the harbor till we found the mooring ball #50. We slowly came up to the cat boat and tired up. Some of the balls have 4 boats tied together. Chuck and Kathy will be able to tie up with us tomorrow.




Sailor had a lot of excitment today with Flipper. They were coming right up to the side of the sailboat and swam along with us. Sailor was going crazy. It happen about 4 times. Crazy Flipper!!
