Wednesday........................hoping to head to Ft. Pierce



We awoke to 25 mph winds directly out of the East and intermittent squalls. After much consideration,  we decided to be prudent and spend an extra day here.  It was a good day to relax, catch up on some boat cleaning, some grocery shopping and enjoy some intermittent sunshine (between the rain squalls) and  sip on a few specialty drinks,  yellow birds.

Melbourne Harbor, threatening skies

We received some requests to include a few pics of the boat to get idea of how we are living.  No worries, while this has been a challenge, we are not necessarily "roughing it".  The boat has been pretty comfortable.

We  used Uber for the first time.  For those of us mature folks that is an App for your phone that you can use instead of a Taxi.  It is a great app and we strongly suggest everyone use it.  Carol went to the app, it already had our location typed in, typed in Publix grocery store and immediately it was confirmed.  Within 2 minutes we knew who was coming, how long before they got here....2  minutes! what type of car they were driving and how much the fee would be.  This is so neat!!!

We filled the cart with some groceries and lots of goodies in prep for the holiday and then Uber back to the boat. The wind was howling all day and we could see the whitecaps and rollers from the boat. In retrospect, it was  a good decision not to go out today as the winds were strong and gusty throughout the day.  We napped on the aft deck and got a little sun.  Had a great afternoon sitting with my lovely wife,  sipping our drinks and enjoying the sun.  The wind continues to howl and whistle with white caps noted on the ICW in the distance.    Still watching weather but we'll make the decision to leave in the morning regarding cruising tomorrow.  Another Nice Day!
