Vero Beach at Loggerhead Marina

 

Just as we left Titusville, we were treated to a SpaceX launch just as the sun rose.

It was time to go. The Donald Ross bridge has no projected repair date. With that exciting news, we decided to leave Titusville with the intention of taking the St Lucie Inlet out to the Lake Worth Inlet in order to bypass the defective bridge. Who knows when it will be fixed??

Hoolie likes the docks here. He an get on and off by himself. 

At least today the weather was fine with little wind and warm temps. We started out with the intention of arriving at Loggerhead around 4:00 but yet another bridge problem got in the way. It seems that there are some days when the NASAA Causeway bridge does not have to open (all day!) due to construction of the new high rise bridge (65 ft clearance). The bridge tender made an exception for us and we only had to wait 45 minutes before the opening but we lost our 4:00 pm arrival time at Loggerhead, oh well.

On Thursday, we’re headed for the Jensen Beach mooring field to stage for next day’s journey out the St Lucie Inlet. It’s supposed to be a calm day but you never know with the ocean. Our plans beyond Friday are unclear, it depends n the weather and the status of bridges;. One can hope.

I have enjoyed following your trips for several years. As I took my daily walk on the beach at Coral Cove park this morning (Tequesta/Jupiter) there was a steady dream of sailboats headed south. All were either motoring or motor sailing due to the south to ssw winds. Ocean was almost flat. Blues were beautiful today!
