Melbourne, FL


April 12, 2012

Well, I left Vero today to head toward Melbourne.   It’s a little bit windier today than yesterday.

I was travelling along and came to a sailboat that I needed to pass.  Greg called on the radio, but no answer.  He called again – no answer.  He then tooted my horn.  No response.  Greg tried the horn again – OMG – my horn is not working!!!  Greg will have to work on that after I am docked!

I saw a bunch of dolphin today.  One group was feeding!  Lots of activity!

I also saw a little “spoils” island that had a bit of a sandbar coming off it.  It was almost into the channel!  Good thing Greg saw it and steered me around it.  Whew!!!
Sandbar 

I docked early—just after noontime – and after they ate, they went for a walk around town.  Thank goodness they came back in time to shut up my bridge before it rained!

They had a good time at dinner @ The Chart House and then talking to my neighbor’s  (a Sundancer) owner about my trip.

Tomorrow (if the weather allows) I head to New Smyrna Beach!
