Vero Beach Update

Hello from the Ware Two.  We are having a great time in Vero Beach! The weather has stayed pleasantly warm, we have found lots fun things to do, and met lots of nice people.  Our dock mates Jean and Tom (teaching us fun tips on healthy living), Merle and Barb (they stop at the Meekers' dock each summer), Don and Annie (from Mobjack), Jim and Marge (she knows all the best shopping sites), Bill and Patricia (he keeps the Ware Two Bill straight on his boat projects) and Pete (the Jack of All Trades on the dock) are a big part of our Vero Beach community.  Today we had our first rainy day since we left home (have had a little rain at night). Felt like we were at home.   We are looking forward to Pat's arrival on Saturday!!!!  Supposed to have a beautiful week next week for her stay.

We get to see lots of pelicans.

We got to see Gen and Kim Hahn when they were in Vero Beach for a week.
Manatees at Fort Pierce.  Bill says imagine trying to dock your boat!

Seagull at the beach.


These birds are on the beach every day looking at the ocean.
Cheryl, are these Elegant Terns?  

Here are some of those birds flying. We seldom see birds flying - usually they are relaxing, just looking at the ocean, watching people walk up and down the beach.  Bill says the birds go to VB to watch the ocean and see the people walk the beach.  They are very people friendly.
Love to all,
Bill and Ruth

Hello from Vero Beach

We are beginning to feel settled in Vero Beach.  Learning to navigate in the area has been fairly easy; certainly easier than trying to unpack and deal with all the "stuff" we brought. 

The weather has been fabulous - today is sunny with a light breeze making 80 degrees feel great.

Bill and I are trying to get in a good long walk every day.  (An occasional nap afterwards is nice also).

Bill is fascinated that VB grinds down uneven edges of side walks so no one trips.


Off the bow of our boat.  God had to have had fun creating this guy.
