Velcro Beach

Yup, we're stuck at Vero Beach.  Got here Sunday and we'll be here  next Sunday.  Weather windows for crossing the Gulf Stream are nowhere to be seen.  Next opportunity will be the 29, 30, 31st when the wind will calm down and move to the south so as not to oppose the Stream and put up big waves.  As I right this seas are 7-10 feet in coastal waters and that's not in the Stream.

So this is the preferred place to hang.  Secure moorings for $17.50 a day with showers, pump outs, dog parks and a free bus that take you to consumptive America.
And we have an endless list of chores to do before leaving the country.  Lots of provisioning and lots of safety and precautionary work on the boat.

The weather here is the same as the Abacos with 20 kmot northerly winds, clouds and temperatures struggling to hit 70.  (I know; I know!)

So not much happening.  Stay tuned.
(Oh yeah, we just impeached the con man in the White Huose.  I hope it never gets sent to the Senate!)

You know the temp here is 1;). We are thinking of you back here in Hinesburg and holding good thoughts for your crossing! Am celebrating Trumps comeuppance at HPH of course!
