A new personal record

Thursday, December 27

Waking up shivering at dawn, we were anxious to find warmer temperatures, so we headed off south at sun up.  It was so cold, the windows were fogged up in the boat requiring wiping them down every ten minutes until the sun warmed up the windows.  The winds had dropped down and it turned out to be a great travelling day.  We made 72 miles and arrived in Vero Beach around 5:15pm.  We travelled about 20 miles beyond what we expected.  Vero Beach is a great stop for boaters, so we plan on spending Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and depart for Stuart on Sunday morning.
