Vero Beach is one of our standard stopovers. There is a mooring field, run by the Vero Beach Municipal Marina. It is well protected and very reasonably priced. Many cruisers intend to stop here for a night or few and end up sticking around for a season. Hence it has been nicknamed “Velcro Beach”.

We like Vero Beach for several reasons. This time we stop because it looks like we have storms coming, and we need to catch up on laundry and groceries. One of the attractions of this place is the free city bus system. They also have a very nice laundry facility.

We get here early in the day so after we check in and buy some gas. I take the bus to Publix and buy some groceries. Fran and Sandy stay on the boat so they can close the ports in case of rain. I make it back before any rain. In fact it doesn’t rain, so we are very hot on the boat.

It does rain the next morning and we wake up and close everything. When it stops raining we get all the laundry ready. We put the dinghy down and I help Fran get everything  to the laundry room. Once we get the washing machines going, I dinghy back to the boat and check on Sandy. When the laundry is ready to come out of the dryers Fran calls me and I dinghy back. We get the clean laundry back to Questeria and put it away.

It looks like it might rain, so we plan a dinner that we can cook inside. We take Bolognese sauce in a food-saver bag out of the freezer. At dinner time it is not raining, and it is too hot to cook on the boat. We are already committed to pasta. We make dinner on the gas grill.

I take the grill off and heat the sauce in a pot, then I cook the spaghetti noodles in a pot on the grill using a tip from the boat galley. Everything turns out great, but we have more food than we thought. Now we have at least two more meals of pasta from a package of sauce that was leftovers already.

We anchor in the rain. When the rain stops we see a double rainbow.
