We are leaving in the morning. When we got here Jeff wanted to stay 2 nights. We will have been here six nights, when we leave tomorrow. We were told Vero Beach has a nick name, at least by the cruisers, as Velcro Beach - you arrive and you can't pull yourselves away. We did not understand that, at least the first day. The boats are sooooo close together, it is like living in a trailer park! And there are sooooooooo mannnnny boats here. We have adjusted. There is free bus service that picks us up at the marina and takes us anywhere we want to go - Wal-Mart, Sam's, Lowe's, Home Depot, West Marine, Office Depot, Publix, the Beach, anywhere. And it runs 8 - 5. We certainly have taken advantage of it - many times! There is a 3 acre dog park (no leashes, plus they provide poop bags) next to the marina, that also provides poop bags (can you tell we like that aspect?). We can now see why people, and not just boat people come here and stay. It is a delightful city! The picture above was taken from the bridge that overlooks the mooring field we have been in. It doesn't do it justice. You can't really get the feel for how close the boats are together and how many there are. 
By the way - we have Christmas lights on our boat, as well as a Christmas tree!! I am posting a picture. There are just a few boats with Christmas decorations - but by gosh, we are one of them!! You know I like my Christmas decorations!!! I know the picture is blurry, but it is the best I could get. Jeff put more lights around the rest of the boat this afternoon.
Anyway, we are pulling out in the morning, heading for Lake Worth and our weather window to cross. We don't know when we will next have internet, so don't be surprised if we don't post for a week or so. We just don't know what we will find. We will post as soon as we can.
