Thanks for the note Norm.
I appreciate that you consider the area "evil", but you
may be a little over the top on that. I have seen evil
before and that was not it. <Grin>
We are on a multiple mooring at Vero Beach Muni Marina in
Vero Beach, also called VELCRO BEACH by some.
Moorings are $11 a night, with multiple raft ups on
each mooring.

Subject: [Liveaboard] Cruising Report - Angel Louise - Thanksgiving
question
Sue and I are cruising on Angel Louise going South on the ICW
now south of Melbourne, FL. We are headed for the
South Caribbean eventually. Only about 2000 miles
to go!.
Norm - We look forward with great pleasure to reports of your
adventures.
We ended up anchoring tonight at Rocky Point, FL.
You can see our anchoring spot and zoom in on the
Satellite View from this link to Googled Maps:

We had been at Fernandina Beach, FL the day before
yesterday and went outside with the intent of going down
to St Augustine on the outside -- but we found it so nice
near the coast we just stayed out all day and all
night and went down to the inlet at Cape Canaveral.
We almost did not do the offshore due to warnings for
small craft and waves up to 6 foot. Fortunately we found
the conditions near shore, despite the 20 mph winds, to
be great and are happy we kept going and weren't
deterred by the forecast.
Norm - We also had that sort of experience many times. Although
the NOAA WX broadcasts are most often correct, sometimes they are way
off. As is often said: "The prudent navigator will use ALL the means
at his disposal to ascertain his position." (or the upcoming weather).
Another of my favorites is: "The superior seaman will use his
superior judgement to avoid having to use his superior skills."
After a night a Cocoa Beach, we tried Sam's location on
the Eau Gallie River, but were not satisfied with our anchor
set and ended up going the rest of the afternoon down
to little islands just off the ICW.
Norm - I am happy to hear you did not stop in this area of evil.
The Eau Gallie anchorage is where the Canadian cruiser was told by
one cop that no anchor light was needed, and subsequently issued a
citation by another cop for not displaying an anchor light.
I had one question:
Up near the Georgia-Florida border at St Mary's they have a
huge Thanksgiving celebration for cruisers. Are there any
in the Southern part of Florida?
Thanks,
Ed
