Fort Pierce

Today was another beautiful, sunny day.  Although the forecast indicated scattered afternoon thunder showers, we saw none.  The passage south from New Smyrna Beach to Fort Pierce includes the city of Vero Beach, a clearly upscale community.  Here are a couple of the hundreds of "summer homes" we passed.

Although there were fewer boats on the water than over the weekend, much of the waterway through here is designated manatee zones, so the trip was leasurely.

We only had about 50 miles to cover anyway and pulled into Fort Pierce about 3:00.   Had time to rinse down the boat, have a nap and the "usuals" and stroll over to the marina restaurant for dinner.  After dinner we walked over to a Publix supermarket about 4 blocks away for some fresh lettuce.  This is the first provisioning we have needed as Katy did a great job planning and stocking the boat.

Tomorrow we move further south to West Palm Beach, another of our favorite stops.
