Sunday Breakfast (Day 061)

Vero Beach Municipal Marina, Vero Beach, FL Mooring Ball 31 MM 951.7
Lay Day

Weather: Partly cloudy; very brief showers; low near 60 and high near 70; wind NE @ 10 to 15

Comment: Breakfast for nine (Canvasback Too, Tally Ho, Reflection, Duetto and SUNSHINE) at Mulligans on the beach was followed by a delightful beach walk. We played a version of “kick the can (actually it was kick the seed pod) on the way back to the marina.

We chilled on our boats for a while, and then it was back to the picnic table for a gathering of those going to the Abacos. All sorts of information was exchanged. It was particularly interesting to hear the wide variety of tips and do’s and don’ts for crossing the Gulf Stream. It is common knowledge that having an acceptable weather window is the key to a successful crossing. It was most interesting to hear the divergent opinions regarding what is “acceptable.”

We capped the night by watching one-half of the movie “Gettysburg” borrowed from Captain Dave. It was to bed by 2130 – another early night for us.
