We left Ft. Pierce around 11:00 am, headed north. The weather is perfect: sunny and cool, 74 degrees now. Indian River was calm except for the many speed boats churning the water around us. Everyone was out on the water, celebrating the beautiful day. Around the channel marker Red 140, we saw a pod of dolphins playing. We haven't seen dolphins in a while, so it was a treat to see them.
Later at Vero Beach there was a sandbar between islands with lots of boats and people having fun. Here are pictures of the sandbar:

We cruised 30 miles and anchored at Sebastian Inlet off the ICW. We were nervous about getting too shallow as we pulled in. It's almost low tide now, and we are showing 6.3 feet below our boat. The wind should be from the south and calming tonight.
We are planning to read and chat with sister and friends and watch The Vicar of Dibley tonight. I hate to miss the Academy Awards. We can check out the introduction on youtube, but we can't watch the whole show. The Vicar is a gentle British comedy that grows on you. It took us a few episodes to get hooked, but now we are. We thank Ken Bonnet for lending us the series. He has lent us several shows, and that is our tv time on the boat. Happy Sunday!

Glad to hear your journey is going well. Enjoying Martha's great pictures. Tell George that we are getting close to possibly purchasing another boat. It's a bit smaller, a Key West 211DC. If you go to their website, you can see what it looks like. I've kinda been in the dumps since we sold the Mainship so I'm sorta looking forward to the next boat. It has taken a while to settle on what we wanted. This boat will allow a run out to the barrier islands on reasonably calm days and also cruising the local rivers. Your journey and the pics have been a bright spot in my day. Thanks so much for sharing. Joe
