 Last Wednesday we got into LV Jule III and headed down to
Sabastian Inlet, Florida. Purpose: to pester Moony one last time. We
loaded Levi, Gina, and Sammy Jane into the RV at 2000 and headed South.
We tied up at the South Carolina rest area for 6 hours, then left at
0600 for Sebastian. We arrived at 1430 at the Sebastian Inlet State
Park. Moony had rented a car and we were hugging (guys don't hug) by
1500.

 We headed for the Vero Beach marina to take a quick
peek at SV Moony on her mooring. Of course she was sharing it with two
other boats as the marina was quite busy. We love Vero Beach and so it
was hard to drag Bob away from the marina. We got him as far as the
restaurant under the bridge. Great being here. It would be better if
Jule III were moored here also.

 Next day, we called Moony on the VHF and found that they
were waiting for us at the marina's lounge. We made them go back to
their dinghy so that we could take this picture. Jule III's crew is
strange. Next we headed for all of the places we visited last Spring
including Jalisco's restaurant, the beach coffee shop, and of course
Fort Pierce.

 Fort Pierce has not changed. Marina still is not dredged
though there is equipment there in preparation for a winter dredging.
The birds are back! The mangrove island is again full of pelicans and
tropical birds. Picture is terrible (Ann took it) as it was past dusk
and there wasn't much light. We were all excited that they were back.
In the Harbor Cove restaurant, we met Beth during happy hour and she
remembered what we drank. Ann took a picture of us at the bar, but it
didn't turn out either. We asked about the cats (check out last year's
cruise). Hoover was doing great (Ann took a picture but you guessed it)
but the small black cat (Midnight)had to be put asleep as her legs were
completely paralyzed.

 It was really blowing during our visit and each day was a
little colder. We decided to drive to Ft. Lauderdale so that Moony
could get charts of the west coast of Central and North America from
Bluewater Charts. Sunday we stayed around Vero Beach and wrapped up our
visit with a happy hour on Moony. On Monday, we had breakfast at the
2002 restaurant and then pointed the bow of the RV northward to Northern
Virginia for doctor appointments. Oh boy!
