| 7:0 am just outside of Titusville, heading south - too early! |
We had originally intended overnighting at Vero Beach on a mooring but as the day progressed, it became apparent that the night was really going to be cool, down in the 40s. If we were at anchor, we would just run the genset to power the reverse cycle A/C and hot water and be comfortable. On a mooring, it's rather impolite to run a genset early in the morning, especially impolite to the boat you're rafted with. With that, we opted to take a dock at Loggerhead Marina in Vero Beach.

| The docks are high and fixed so hang your fenders accordingly |
The fairway into the marina has a reputation of being shallow and they advertise 6.0 MLLW. When I came in the lowest I saw was 6.8 MLLW but that was with a clearance of 63 ft on the height boards for the Wabasso bridge. If the boards read 64 ft, then the approach depth would only be 6.8 - 1.0 = 5.8 MLLW. So if you coming from the north, take a look at the height boards for the Wabasso bridge to adjust the expected approach depth accordingly.

| It's a beautiful area and even has a pool - too cold now but in the summer it must be great. |
We met quite a crowd this afternoon of people that wanted to say hi. Many used the Bob423 tracks in a variety of apps and programs, not all Aqua Map or Navionics. The GPX tracks will work with all navigation programs.
On Tuesday, we will set out for the Hope Sound anchorage by R38, one of our favorite anchorages. It has Hoolie relief at a nearby sandy beach and since we're anchored, we can run the genset to stay warm. It also has beautiful sunrises, I'll take a photo.
