Cocoa to Vero Beach
We left
Cocoa at 0830 with cold winds at our back making for chilling ride down the
ICW. We were very glad to be cruising at 7 knots much of the day. We covered
the 43 miles to Vero Beach in 7 hours. Upon our arrival, we took a mooring ball
and went in for showers to warm up.

| Vero Beach Municipal Marina Mooring Field |
Vero Beach
is a haven for cruisers. The city is very welcoming and provides support for
the hundreds of sailors who arrive at it municipal marina for a layover of a
few days or months. It is a good spot to fit out for a passage to the Bahamas
or the Florida Keys. The city runs a free bus service to many of the places of
interest to cruisers: grocery store, West Marine, hardware store, restaurants,
parks and beaches. The dinghy dock is full all day with 20 – 30 dinghies
waiting for owners to return from their activities ashore.
We are on a
mooring with two cutters flying the Seven Seas Cruisers’ Association burgee. We
will try to introduce ourselves if we see them tomorrow.
