After two days in Vero Beach restocking up on food stuff, night out at the movies and of course a run to West Marine, we started north up the Intracoastal Waterway. A couple of thirty mile days put us in Melbourne and then Titusville. Two sixty mile days got us to Palm Coast and now we are anchored in St. George just north of Jacksonville, FL.
While in Melbourne, we met up with Greg and Susan Han (Allegria) and joined them for "Boaters' Night" at the Eau Gallie Yacht Club. They are members of the Key Biscayne Y.C. and were invited as guests. That would make us guests of guests! EGYC was formed in 1907 which makes this their Centennial year.
We also made a two hour stop in Cocoa, FL just to check it out and stretch our legs. The downtown has many neat shops and restaurants and a wonderful waterfront park. Glad we stopped.
There isn't anywhere in Florida we want to see again just yet. Savannah, Beaufort and Charleston beckon next week...
Happy Easter to everyone!

PPS: Had a little 'scare' today when the engine quit...we were transferring fuel to balance the boat and forgot to turn it off. For reasons yet unknown, this caused fuel starvation. After quickly dropping the anchor in the middle of the ICW, John 'bled' the engine and pumped fule back in the filters. Thankfully, the engine started before we got run over!
