TIKA in the mooring field in Vero Beach, Fl
Our view of the bridge into the city across the ICW
View of the ICW heading north from the center of the Bridge
View of the beautiful architecture of the bridge from the built-in fishing pier below the spans
Bearded stranger we met walking across the bridge
Bearded stranger went to lunch with us. Looks kind of like "The most interesting man in the world" in the Dos Equis commercial. When he drinks beer...he prefers Dos Equis. Actually, word has it he will drink just about anything.
Leaving the Old Port Cove Marina in North Palm Beach was traumatic...cable TV, power, hot water, floating dock, on site restaurant...etc.....but "home" is calling and staying in a full service marina can drain your pocket book if you get too attached. We made out way up the ICW, past Jupiter inlet, past St. Lucie inlet and set our sites on one of our favorite and "economical" places to stay....the Vero Beach mooring field. While we have had great travelling weather, the forecast for the weekend was for storms, so the safety of a commercially placed permanently anchored "mooring ball" puts a smile on Admiral Marlene's face. We have stayed in Vero Beach before, so I won't elaborate, but short of the fact I fell into the water exiting the dinghy on our way south, Vero Beach is a fantastic place to spend a few days. Shopping and the beach are all within walking distance and they have a shuttle system that comes right to the marina to take you just about anywhere you need to go. There are multiple restaurants on the water you can dinghy to. Hey, I am elaborating...so lets just say we both like it here and it is well within budget ($15 day) for an extended stay, if weather requires.
