Marc-  08:30 departure from Vero Beach Municipal Marina for Cocoa Village.  We were fortunate to have favorable wind and current and low traffic volume today during our 8 hour run.  Boat speed averaged 6.5 knots.  Sunny in the 70's with low humidity - perfect.  The only issue was wave exposure at the Cocoa Village docks.  We found two open spaces on the face dock and grabbed them.  Unfortunately that 10-15 knot favorable wind from the Southeast was now hitting us broadside and pushing us on the dock.  The forecast is for a wind shift to the Southwest overnight.  The wind direction change should take care of the wave action.

A few photos from today:
