Fellsmere!

The temp in the boat went down to 73 degrees last night. It was so comfortable by comparison, that we slept for an extra hour this morning. That caused us to delay my planned bike ride. Instead, we did a shorter ride after lunch.

We have never visited Fellsmere before. While searching for entertainment options in Vero Beach, I came upon a restaurant that features a Bluegrass Band on Thursday nights. In the high season, the Marsh Landing Restaurant gets crowded up to two hours before the band is scheduled to play.

Well the restaurant was crowded when we arrived at 1820 hours. The patrons in the main room were clearly there for the bluegrass. Their plates contained only scraps of food and all chairs were facing the performers. This evenings edition of the Marsh Landing Bluegrass Band consisted of three guitar players, a mandolins/fiddle player, one on upright bass, and a dobro. Three of the musicians were singers too. Two tables of onlookers were prepared with printed out signs encouraging the crowd and the musicians. People from the audience were invited to go on stage to sing a song or two. 

The music was good and the crowd was a hoot! We had a great time.
