Last day on the AICW, first day on the OW

Yesterday, Wednesday was a long day from Titusville to Vero Beach.  We finished just an hour before sunset, overnighting at the Vero Beach Yacht Club, one of the best stops we've made.  Easy tie-along-side docking, small but very nice clubhouse, friendly members and staff.  High point for the day was a visit from John & Ann Henderson.  John was one of our first Power Squadron instructors back in Peoria IL, over 15 years ago.  After drinks at the VBYC, John & Ann took us to dinner at Mulligan's on the Atlantic Ocean.


Today we travelled from Vero Beach to Stuart, marking a significant point on this cruise.   We made the turn from the AICW (Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, aka the "Ditch") to the OW (Okeechobee Waterway.)  The official AICW continues to Miami, and the unofficial AICW continues all the way to Key West.  Its taken a little over a month for Adagio to travel the 988 miles since Norfolk VA.


We plan on three travel days for the 152 miles to Ft Myers.  The OW is all new water for Adagio.  When we cruised down (south) the GICW (Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) in 2012 we went all the way to Key West without going to Cape Coral or Ft Myers.
