TUESDAY- How can getting groceries be such an all-day adventure?? Christy offered us her car for shopping so about 1:30PM we dinghied into Cocoa Village Marina. The city marina would have been closer to her car but not as secure. Sea Dream was anchored on the bridge's south side, protected from the brisk northerlies. After passing under the bridge the waves drenched us in the dinghy. We tied up behind Christy's boat and wrung ourselves out as best we could for our two mile walk to her home office and the car. Louis & Boozer played there while we shopped. At Publix we got a few staples then stopped at West Marine (of course!). Christy returned us to the marina just as a squall arrived. After it passed, we and the groceries dinghied back to Sea Dream, boarding just before dark. Each bag of groceries was passed up to the deck and down into the galley. It was dusk by the time we finished a simple trip to the grocery for “a few things” but we had another adventure!
Leaving Cocoa Village, on to Vero
WEDNESDAY- Left Cocoa Village in the morning and cruised to Vero Beach, catching a mooring ball about 4:45PM at Vero Beach Marina. The wind was gusting to 25mph but I caught the ball on the first try. Hoorah! In the evening John and Betty Rhodes, good friends from Atlanta, invited us over to their condo for John's fresh caught fish dinner. It was absolutely delicious so we may have to learn to fish. They have a lovely place and Louis really enjoyed meeting their Westie, Chloe. We visited until late and then back to the boat.
THURSDAY- Betty and John arrived just before noon for the “boat tour”. The weather was sunny and very pleasant so we sat on the deck and lunched in the galley. Later we had a delicious Italian dinner in quaint Vero Beach. There's a lot to see and do so we plan to stay for several days.
