Mating Manatees and Nesting Osprey
May 7, 2012, Day One of our journey North aboard the MollyBelle from our home port in Vero Beach to our second (new) home port in Boston, MA.  We left at 7:45am as scheduled, in order for Captain Dick to arrive at Cocoa Village Marina in time for his conference call at noon.  It was a beautiful day on the Indian River where we saw mating manatees (We think that's what they were doing--they were very frisky!) and nesting osprey.  We are happy to be under way after many months of planning for this trip.  We will be travelling with Peter and Terry Sullivan on their boat, the "Whimaway" as far as Jekyll Island, GA, with stops in Daytona, St Augustine, and Fernandina Beach in Florida.  After that we are on our own! This is my first post as a new blogger.  Hope it works!
