We got underway about 8 this morning. Today was very uneventful. Most of the ICW was through Indian River, which is a wide open area. Not much to see, and not much boat traffic either.
We arrived at Vero Beach Marina at 1 p.m. It is a well run city marina which offers free bus rides to shopping centers and stores. We took advantage and were able to pick up some groceries at Publix as well as have a late lunch/early dinner at an Irish Pub.
We are going to stay here tomorrow night also, although after that we are going to try to get to Charleston as soon as we can, in order to have the transmission looked at. Darrell talked with a mechanic over the phone and it seems like we may have to have it re-built.
Every wise boater remembers the saying – don’t drive your boat where you see birds standing.
