Nov. 29
We are here in Vero Beach on Mooring number 2. We will probably be here at least two more days as Kathleen wants to get Henry Morgan ( our male kitten) spayed bfore we get to the islands. The public transportation system is great as you can ride to anywhere in the city.

Thanksgiving was very nice, all the cruisers got together for a potluck thanksgiving and it was very nice to see all the people come together to share food and stories. Legacy is moored just outside the public dock so it was relatively easy to get back to the boat after eating.

Yesterday our outboard stopped working. It looks like it is the carburetor ( looks like this is the year of the carburetor) float valve as it will run a few minutes and then bog down and stop. I believer it is a stuck float valve, but I have no way on the boat to try a carb repair ( small parts and the water do not mix) so we are having a mechanic come pick it up and see what he can do. It is imperative that we have the outboard working as rowing against the wind and tide can be very tiresome. Hopefully if all goes well we can be on our way this Tuesday or Wednesday.


Hooray!!! our outboard is now working-- apparently the carburator was full of water. So we will be moving on down the ICW.

Tomorrow we will go to Hobe sound and the next day to Lake Worth, and weather permitting the next day we will be in Miami.
