Vero Beach MarinaLat 27 39 48; Long 80 22 21; Fuel 128 gal; eng 711.48
Left Vero Beach after waiting about an hour to fill up on fuel only to turn around and find a sail boat had pulled up to the dock as I was pulling out. Decided to forget it, we had a lot of fuel. Only reason, I wanted to fill at Vero was because it was Valvetech fuel. So we left and pulled out into the channel with our destination set for Coco. For those of you who can't remember the movie The Right Stuff, Coco Beach was where the Mercury astronauts used to party and is about 10 miles from Cape Canaveral. it is about 5o miles down the waterway from Vero Beach.
Trip down was not too exciting other than a few spots where the water got skinny and we had about 3 feet under the boat. However we made it and arrived in Coco about 3:30. Along the way we saw this nest with an Osprey feeding the chicks.
When we arrived at Coco, our friends from Lazy Dolphin were there to meet us. They have been here several days waiting for their dinghy to get fixed. We have not seen them since St Pete's and we went over to their boat once we got settled in to to update each other. Brenda and I then went out for pizza and the pizza was so big that we will have enough for lunch the next several days. Great pizza.
