Day 347: Heading North

Vero Beach to Cocoa Beach, FL (anchored)

December 28, 2022

Today was just an ordinary travel day although it’s bittersweet: we are heading north. Although we got a late start we traveled 54 miles and anchored before dark.

Leaving Vero Beach

Prior to leaving the marina, we stopped at the fuel dock to fill our water tank (we have been very carefully conserving water while we were on the mooring ball). John noticed that our alternator wasn’t charging our battery (!!). Fortunately the fuse light indicated the fuse was bad – a quick fuse replacement remedied the situation. (John has spent a lot of time with that alternator this year, I think it missed his attention).

Heading out to the ICW

Tomorrow we’ll get up early and head to New Smyrna Beach. We get to go through Haulover Canal (hoping to see manatees and dolphins again) and see John’s brother and sister-in-law when we arrive at the marina – two good things in a single day!
