We made it to Vero Beach City Marina. Finally! And for our baby book/Captain’s Log of firsts, we picked up our first mooring ball. Again, after much research and watching how-to videos for Susie’s confidence, it was a piece of cake. Well, truthfully, we did it twice, but learned a bit for next time. Isn’t that how life goes?

PS – we learned today via a VHF side-channel conversation with a fellow boater that we missed a launch last night. We heard it, as we were anchored practically in Cocoa Beach. Good grief! Had we known, we’d have stepped out on deck to watch. Now Todd has an app for that, so to speak, so we know when the launches are coming.
