Our morning sunrise Ft. Pierce, Causeway Island

A heron came to visit with us this morning

A couple of dolphin stopped in to say "good morning" !

A couple of more dolphin greeted us once we were underway !

These birds are diving for breakfast

Once they hit the water, you don't need

to watch any more....it was just me trying to

turn the video off !

This plane was doing all kinds of stunts in the air !

This is the canal that a friend of ours (Captain Dave) lives on

We think he may have a cruise going on -  he charters a 44' Lagoon....

we hired him a couple of  times to take us to the British and Spanish 

Virgin Islands - The boats name is Island Girl

If you want to see a video of one of his cruises go to

Love to watch the tug boats go by!

Another beautiful house on the ICW

This seagull keeps diving into the water trying

to catch fish right in front of our boat while

we are moving at 7 knots!

These cormorants are flying in formation

Later down the ICW we find many, many hundreds 

of them just sitting around in the water ~

Unfortunately, they blend in with the water so much 

I was not able to get a decent picture of them !

Beautiful island in the middle of no where

This is where we stopped for the night

We are in the Cape Canaveral area

One of the last boats (barge) to come through

for the evening

Our peeper tonight!

Our boat with the sunset and

the moon up above 

How beautiful is that !

Today was a great, great day!  There weren't a lot of boats traveling today in the Indian River, and with good depth we were able to cruise right along without any worries! We traveled 81 miles which is a record for us!  We saw a lot of birds, dolphins and even a manatee on the trip north!  The current, temperature (although a little chilly for the Captain), and sun was with us all day long!  I even got some sun bathing in, so did Bob for that fact!  

Tonight, after we anchored, we had a manatee come up for some fresh air and to let us know he was there.  Of course he was camera shy so taking a picture was out of the question !
