It was hard to leave Velcro Beach but we need to get south. We took a short 14 mile hop to Fort Pierce. We spent some time searching for a dinghy dock in a monster marina before we finally found a small floating dock to tie up to. After many nights of secure moorings and docks we are anchored in a spot where the current changes with the tide. Our anchor, a Manson Supreme, is reputed to be one of the best at resetting itself when the boat pulls on it from different directions. We're counting on that. There is almost no wind so we should be able to sleep easy.

Tonight's anchorage in Fort Pierce. Our boat is the second

Maryanne is happy because after a long drought she finally has a real Sunday New York Times in her hands. We were able take a short walk to the nearby Publix for the paper and to the local West Marine for some items to reduce the humidity in the boat. Condensation has been a real problem the last few nights with outside temperatures in the high 30's to mid 40's.

I found some more bridges run over and this path
on a causeway. Here I am waving to myself. |
