Log Book: April 13th

Conditions: 70 & overcast
Location: Vero Beach

We left Stuart is morning and had an uneventful ride up the ICW as we were headed for Vero Beach. Just as we were closing in on our destination another sailboat began to pass us. I glanced behind us and vaguely waved but didn't take much notice of it. Then as she started to pull away I caught a glimpse of the name written on the side of the hull: Surreal. It was undoubtably the same boat of two Canadians we had met in Key Largo! They were waving madly from inside their cockpit with their dog Cosmo. It was so good to see them. Talking on the radio we discovered that we were both headed to the same marina and that the Welch's, friends from our yacht club, were not far behind. When all three boats were settled in on moorings we got together for some drinks and to chat. Our friends on both boats are headed for Brunswick, Georgia. The Canadians were leaving their boat there for the summer and the Welch's were leaving there's for a short period while they visited friends and family back in CT. Together we all made a plan to travel as far north together as we could and set a takeoff time for 9am tomorrow morning, our destination; Cocoa Beach.
