VELCRO BEACH

As we neared Vero Beach, we called ahead to reserve a mooring ball but none were available. Instead, we ended up at a delightful tiny anchorage called Pine Island 3.
With high winds expected the next day, we did share a mooring ball with a Prout 39 in the  municipal marina and quickly came to understand why the nickname was Velcro Beach.  Everyone was so friendly, the costs were low and the city transit bus came right to the marina.  With the water temperature up into the 70’s, Ed got to clean the props and the bottom.  We got soaked in our first rain since the start of the trip with  thunder and lightningwhile in the dingy.  As a reward, we treated ourselves to a dinner out and took the dingy to the Riverside
