We made it to Vero Beach FL today. Up early to check the weather forecasts then watch the rocket launch. Unfortunately we were too far away and under a heavy overcast to see it happen. We did watch it streaming on NASA TV with our smartphones. Pretty awesome! We arrived just after lunchtime and hooked up to the mooring ball we were told to use. When we got to the ,marina office to sign it there was another boat calling in to tell them there was a boat on the mooring they were assigned to. A lack of communication in the office, no one was told that the mooring had been assigned. Since the other boat was a big wide catamaran they asked us to move to another and raft up with another sailboat. We sere surprised we got a mooring to ourselves and would have had another boat join us anyway so we moved. Had to make an emergency run to West Marine when we found out the new connection to the outboard fuel tank would not seal. A project for tomorrow since it started to rain while we were at the store and it has been raining off and on since. Fortunately I brought two outboard motors with us. Computers and networking taught me about redundancy.
Tomorrow we will start to explore Vero Beach.
