Welcome To Vero

Last night was a special treat.  We had dinner with Dave and Jonnie, a great couple that we are specially fond of.  Thanks, Dave and Jonnie.

This morning, I woke at 5.  It would have been 6 except for daylight savings time.  Darn. I put on me clothes and went for a walk.  Wouldn't you know, I found a Sarbucks, so it wasn 't too bad.   I missed the eclipse in any case because I couldn't see the horizon.

But this afternoon, we arrived in Vero.  Regular readers know that this is one of our two major stops.  We have spent many months in Vero.  Next to Marathon it is our favorite place.  Nominally, we will stay here until after Thanksgiving.  We like to help with the big Thankgiving cruisers dinner.

Think of our progress another way.  24 22 N is the latitude of our winter playground.  We are at 27 39 N; so we have only 3 degrees to go.   Compared to our summer playground at 45 N, we are 6/7 of the way there.

The mooring here in Vero is surprisingly empty for November.   I'm sure it will fill up more by Thanksgiving, but I wonder if it is not the sign of a slow season.
