Still Windy

Well, I guess we could have sat in Vero Beach forever waiting for the winds to die down, especially since our car delivery fairies had the pimpala there for us, but six days seemed long enough.  That was longer than we planned.  The wind direction changed to the south, so we untied from "Ookpik" and mooring ball #30 at seven o'clock this morning with rain up ahead.  We couldn't even get the fenders and lines put away before the rain caught up to us.  It was intermittent light rain all day with the southern winds blowing right through the windshield.  It was nice to have warm enough temperatures to have it open again.  Linda did most of the nine hours of driving to go 51 miles.  The tide was almost always against us again, typical for us.  We dropped anchor at Hell Gate near Jupiter, Florida.  We love this anchorage in southern winds.  The huge dry stack building is a perfect protector.  You would never know it was windy once we got in there which was wonderful since the winds did not lay down as much as originally predicted, but it didn't really matter.
