We awoke to a beautiful sunrise.  

We got an early start. I was able to capture a few Pink Ibis in flight. This is a mixed group Entrance to the Haulout Canal. Very popular fishing spot.We met several nice trawlers. Larry put out his Oklahoma flag…Ok and FL are playing each other on Thursday night. Should be a fun game. We are anchored in Ponce Inlet. We took Raisin to the beach….

It’s actually a sandbar in the middle of the inlet…the White Pelicans were kind enough to let us use it for a few minutes. Here it looks like they are discussing it. They are very pretty birds.

We headed for the barge canal to get fuel. Diesel $1.88.9 and gas $2.00.9.  The cheapest we’ve found ..so far. We passed several cruisers going S. You can usually tell the long term cruisers…extra gas and water cans ..as well as..solar panels or wind generators. I got a kick out of this one…he was photographing us as I was photographing him. This one cruised in shortly after we dropped our anchor at Titusville.

We left the anchorage at Vero Beach shortly after sunrise. It turned out to be a great day on the water. But..then..most days on the water are great!! There were a lot of cruisers going south and several sailboats. Everyone loves their boat…and I usually get a big wave when they realize I am photographing it. I managed to snap a picture of a couple of dolphins…again..not a good picture but I dont get many. They are between the first 2 stanchions on the bow rail. I used the GT101 Express to bake corn bread. It makes a good snack.

Our anchorage for the night is near a bridge to Patrick Airforce Base. Another beautiful sunset. The yellow color just over the bridge was actually a firery coral. One of these days I will have a camera that can capture the true colors.
