Vero Beach

Monday & Tuesday - Back to riding the FREE bus and settling into a routine. We had a pot luck dinner Tuesday, and while speaking with new friends, we were discussion problems along the ICW.
Going back to Friday, Jan. 29 - The Bridge Of Lions has been closed for continued work. We were told if you could get under 22 ft clearance, we could go under the fixed portion of the bridge. Bridge of Lions was easy to get under. West side of bridge opening almost parrallel to City Marina. I contacted City Marina for info before choosing the best route.
More problems at Matanzas. Three sailboats were aground when we got there. There were a number of drop bouys, we stayed outside the bouys toward the west shore. We were listening for sometime and one grounded sail boat was in 4 foot of water. I tried to pass but hit ground and needed to back off. The tide was rising and all were ok so we continued on.
