2/12/16 Friday Vero Beach, Fla

What a grand travel day we had today!!! Weather was a perfect 75 degrees!!! Our day started slow as we called the Flager bridge for an opening which our chart said would be 7:45am, and they informed us that construction on the bridge would not allow opening until 9:15am!!! Oh man that put us an hour or better behind schedule!!! Oh well!!

Finally we got through and had a great day!!! I always say God was putting us on hold for a reason!!!!

We were followed for a while today flying above us, the Goodyear Blimp!!! Something we had never seen before! I have a pic to share!! We felt it was headed to Daytona for the race this weekend. We had several pods of dolphins follow us today, sure does keep Lexie excited!! 

We got to Vero Beach and called the Marina for a mooring ball to hook up to for the night, only because there is no good anchor places here close. We rested up, and had some left over Chinese for supper, and ready for bed. We want to get started early in the morning as we want to make it to Titusville by tomorrow late afternoon. We will dock there 2-3 days for shopping, need groceries, and of course to spend time with our friends Paula and Jim!!! It will be good to see them again!!

Please continue to pray for our safe travels!! We love you all!! Fran & Capn Rod

This is Flager Bridge in Palm Beach!! Held us up this morning for 1 1/2 hours!!
