Vero, Mr. Manatees

I return the Enterprise rental car in the morning. I get back just in time to meet the Pump-out boat at our mooring. After lunch, Linda does laundry. The marina has a good size laundry-mat.

I work on replacing the anchor windlass safety switch, which involves removing some wood panels and trim in the V-birth to get access. Nothing is ever simple on a sailboat. Late afternoon Mark & Karen and Linda & I take our dinghies a little ways south on the ICW to “Mr Manatees” for their cruiser night. There is about 40 cruisers from the marina there, some by car and some by dinghy. My cousin, Bill who spent the day at Kennedy Space Center meets us there.
