Vero Beach
Happy Easter! We got up and rolled northward to Vero Beach on what promised to be a bright sunny, calm day….Not…The weather people and apps have pretty consistently been off this entire trip. It was a little choppy and a lot overcast but I think it kept the holiday traffic on the water down so it was fine. Left behind were also the huge mansions and yacht docks so the camera didn’t quite get the workout as before. We got into Vero Beach, gassed up (a little sticker shock there) and got into our slip by 3:30pm. The sun finally came out. Vero Beach is the favored Florida destination for our niece and nephew – Liz and Brennon Fitzpatrick—so we are hoping to get some tips on the places to see and restaurants to hit. So far the dock people have been great and got us in unscathed in a blustery wind. Our neighbors came in right after us --they had bow thrusters so they were in a little easier—we call thrusters cheaters. We have caught up with our mail and packages (maybe we have finally learned how to do that!) and we plan on staying here a couple of days at least. Loopers call Vero Beach-- Velcro Beach because people come here and have a tendency to stay.

Are you at the marina by the highway 60 Bridge? Riverside Cafe by the 60 Bridge is great for live music and good food and you can get there in your dingy. Other favorites are Ocean Grill for old Florida seafood and a classic bar on the beach, Citrus for upscale casual on the beach, and Bobby's for burgers' etc... Ocean Grill is like Vero's Sperry's. Plan on spending an evening on Ocean Drive around 60/ Beachland Blvd. Ocean Grill and Citrus are there along with tons of other restaurants and neat shops. You could even bike there if you're by the bridge. If you taxi be sure to set a return pickup time since there's limited service. Enjoy!
