A Short Day!

We were enjoying our anchorage this morning and didn't leave until 11 AM. I had some work to do on the computer so we took our time had breakfast, then lifted our anchor and set out. Today being Friday the water was a buzz with small fishing type boats and lots of wake. All in all it was a pleasant short trip to Fort Pierce, where we dropped our hook in an anchorage just South of the bridge by the city marina. We are one of about four boats that are here for the night. We enjoyed our late afternoon, sitting in the cockpit and taking a swim before our shower.

After dinner the wind picked up and the tide began to come up which caused a conflict for our boat. With an opposing wind and tide it can get noisy and bouncy and it has done both. Once the tide finishes filling things should calm down. I hope so, a good nights sleep would be good.

The picture is of a small sailing craft as he sailed by our boat at anchor. These small Cat boats seem to be popular here on the East coast of Florida. Looks like fun.

Tomorrow will be another short day. We plan to anchor at Rock Point which is between Titusville and Vero Beach.
