<\/a><\/p>\nWe got a boys off the boat to go to Sailor Exchange (name\/sp?) in Fort Peirce , Fl<\/p>\n
Alan in a quite the wood-worker\u2026\u201dAlan step away from the teak\u2026there is no room on the boat\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n North-bound strategy session\u2026all work no play.<\/p>\n This is why John Sparrow you should not be on the ICW on the weekend\u2026this care ICW @ Fort Pierce Inlet<\/p>\n First days stop Vero Beach, also known as Velcro Beach. Its so easy and lovely to be there its really hard to leave.<\/p>\n Colin’s first opportunity to raft-up on a mooring. Glad we were able to get this one under his belt. Coming into a strangers boat in always more anxiety filled.<\/p>\n Boats secured let go to dinner\u2026.this is a delivery trip\u2026no days off.<\/p>\n We piled into the dinghy and went to our favorite local spot just around the corner <\/p>\n Next stop Coco Village, FL One of our favorite stops in FL. <\/p>\n The big thing about Coco was it was Als birthday and since Michelle was not along on this trip we took it as a personal responsibility to make there was appropriate celebration. Started off with Thai and finished with Ice Cream\u2026every one had a great evening. <\/p>\n Sadly we our little adventure came to an end at Coco. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Magnolia\u2019s next stop was Titusville where we were meeting up our mentors Greg & Marie on Second Sally. <\/p>\n Once again more yapping and less snapping (of pictures).

I try and give everything a good fresh water douse after pulling the hook.<\/p>\n ICW dredge hard at work! We like dredges because we know the water will be getting deeper!!!<\/p>\n Next stop was St Augustine t see my great uncle Wayne and Carmen<\/p>\n It is ALWAYS a blast to catch up with these two kind people. Wayne is 98 and going strong\u2026I have previously warned you my gene pool is deep!<\/p>\n This is Magnolia as were walking back to the dinghy dock from Wayne and Carmens. They live just across Bridge of Lions so super easy to visit! Castillo de San Marcos<\/a> is in the background<\/p>\n Granted this is a religious question but we did not know the #2 Pizza Place in the USA is in St Augustine, Pizza Time.<\/a> Who knew? <\/p>\n From St Augustine it was off to Winyah Bay\u2026almost..the hard left explained the next time!<\/p>\n As I wrote last time we had blown out the main sail off-shore Florida and so a stop at Mack Sails was in order.
