We were scheduled to leave Vero Beach today but last night during planning we decided to make some changes. Mostly because we don't like the upcoming weather forecasts further south. Our worst fear is that big northern blows will hamper our journey as they did in 2006. There is nothing worse than being stuck in an overpriced marina for days on end, and believe me, the further south you go the more overpriced they become.
So now we are thinking about skipping the Miami rat race and heading across the peninsula on the Okeechobee Waterway which runs from Port St. Lucie over to Ft. Myers. It will be an adventure in itself as we have never been that way. There are some major obstacles to overcome which I will tell you all about later. Stay tuned!
For now, here are some pics of the Vero area. Since the city of Vero Beach is so unremarkable I did not snap any pics. If I go to the beach I will get some.
The bridge near the marina offered a few nice shots. The pelican was eating all that his belly can!
