Vero Beach to Melbourne
Woke up to semi-high winds and cool temperatures this morning, 15 to 20 mph and 52º. At 11:00 am we headed north to Melbourne, about a 30-mile trip, even though it was not the best traveling weather. We were headed directly into the wind and waves dropping our speed to just a little over 7 mph rather than our normal 8. Our pilothouse is open but since we were going into the wind we were well protected by the windshield most of the time. This was the first time either of us had long pants on in months, even vests and jackets were pulled out of the closet; the wind was cold. We are rafted with Maurice and Renee tonight and headed to a mooring ball in Titusville tomorrow.

Heading back up North to cooler temperatures. Supposed to be in the mid 50's later this afternoon. When you say rafting , does that mean the two boats are tied together?
ReplyDeleteYes - rafting is two boats tied together.

DeleteHello David and Kim on Overtime Adventures. Please tell Le Marie Sophie hello from Rip and Beth, Monk 36, AKA Lab Partners. We met them, and spent a nice afternoon aboard their Monk, at the fall rendezvous, but not sure we met there. Having fun reading your blog updates. We are in NC, just north of Oriental and planning on setting out on The Loop come late April or early May.
ReplyDeleteWe passed along your hellos to Le Marie Sophie and they send their regards to you. We're glad you are enjoying the blog and look forward to seeing you on the water - you will love this journey!
