Marinas, Anchorages, Moorings and Weather just get better and better

We are taking a slow walk up the east coast of Florida –no temps under 60 degrees—and as of yesterday we have gotten out of the gusty winds—at least for now. Vero Beach is a great place for exploring by dingy, bike riding –no big hills in Florida-- and lots to see and do. We are a short bike ride from a huge Veterans Memorial Park flanked by Vero Museum of Art and a theater now playing How to Succeed in Business without Trying. We have moved to the mooring field beside the mangroves and still have a good breeze and a little more privacy. This is the first place we have seen the Spanish moss on the trees —it is really pretty. We have had a great dinner at the Riverside café— paella for me and yellow tail tuna for Fitz—and tonight we are going to Citrus on the beach. We can bike pretty easily to the Atlantic beach (about 5 blocks but across the busy A1A highway so we will come and go before it gets dark. Does that officially make us old-timers if we go for the early bird specials? We are debating a couple more days here in Vero—may wait until Friday to head to St. Augustine.

  1. Sounds like you're having a blast in Vero! Try the Red Onion for lunch. Their Grouper Reuben and Meatloaf Sandwich are unbelievable! It's on the beach boardwalk just north of where 60 ends. The Lemon Tree is also a great lunch spot right on Ocean Dr,
