Still without props and in Vero Beach. Though we had some hope of getting our propellers back on today, it was not to be. So we decided to visit the local museum which turned out to be pretty nice. Though the exhibits were limited they were all well done and not to be missed. The

This was a day to travel about and take care of some errands. We left the boat around 1000 and caught the Go-line bus right at the marina. The bus service here is quite interesting and our own county could take a lesson from these folks. They have bunch of little short buses so they
