We gave hugs and kisses to our friends, handed out dog treats to our four legged buddies and then attempted to cast off away from the dock. Just when we thought we were leaving, the train bridge closed and we were trapped. One train went by but the bridge didn't open then another train went by and finally the bridge opened and we were free to go. Sunset Bay is like the Hotel California, you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave (except we had lots of "spirits" there).
While we will miss our friends at Sunset Bay bunches, it felt quite liberating to be away from the dock. After all, Tropical Breeze hadn't been on the move since December.
Our first stop was a mere 9 miles away at Peck Lake. We dropped the hook, made sure it was secure and then launched the dinghy for shore.
Peck Lake isn't really a lake. It is a widening in the ICW allowing for a boat anchorage. Once on shore, you can walk east and within minutes you find yourself on a beach along the Atlantic. It was great to let our feet sink into the sand and feel the cool Atlantic Ocean between our toes.
Next stop Vero Beach.
