Cape Canaveral to north of Vero Beach, Florida

We woke up to rain so we removed all the sunshade curtains on the outside windows to give us a better view for steering from the downstairs helm. We donned our silk long johns and wools socks, Gortex rain jackets and rain pants and rain ponchos and steered from the fly bridge for awhile and then enjoyed the comfortable cruising from down below. We passed by Cocoa Village under gray skies and had a few motor yachts pass us on our way past Indian Harbour Beach, Melbourne and Sebastian. The skies remained dark and threatening so we anchored on the south side of Wabasso  bridge before reaching Vero Beach. There is one small sailboat here that the owner paddled out to on a paddle board and since there is very little boat traffic it should be a peaceful stop for the night.
