Wednesday, December 18th
We had a nice voyage yesterday, cold in the beginning of the day but warming up into the 60's and uneventful. We started out against the tide, but after a short time caught the tide and ended up in Titusville - a good run. We docked in those darn poles. You need every line aboard to tie up - two for the bow, two for the stern and a mid ship. Makes for a lot of work coming and going. The highlight of the day was a big dog park we found for April. She played and she play with the other dogs. There was a 4 month old Goldendoodle who was tired by the time April left. We got an early start this morning. Bill back out of that dock - pilings on all sides - like the expert. April was on the bow to give the goodbyes to all admirers. There is no tide here on the Indian River, the wind was blowing 15 to 20 right up our stern, so we did our cruising speed of 6.5 or better the entire day with skinny water. It makes one wonder how much longer boats will be able to navigate the ICW. We are anchored tonight off a couple of islands near Sebastian, FL. We had anchored with Snow Goose and decided April would enjoy the islands, and she did. She went for a swim and ran around free as a bird. There is still a little too much wind, but hopefully it will die down. Tomorrow we will make a short run to Vero Beach for fuel and water, fish oil and vitamins for our itchy April - and a bath. Friday we will meet Ken and Francie Bushee at Jensen Beach Causeway and plan our crossing to the Bahamas! We have finally caught up with them! We are hoping all our followers are having a happy holiday season. Bill, Barb and April wish you the best of holiday greetings.
