     Boy, Alibi's crew made up for all those days of not moving!  After four days, we traveled 217 miles up the coast of Florida. 
     We anchored Wednesday night near Melbourne and had dinner with Gary and Mary from "Packet Inn" that we met in the Bahamas. It was a great reunion!!  Lots to catch up on and we didn't stop talking all night. They are great friends!!  They even helped us by being a taxi for parts!!
     We stopped overnight at Elliott Key, Lake Worth, ft. Pierce, and Eau Gallie. We are going to put Alibi at dock for a few days and visit with our friends Dan and Stephanie. That is always a welcome visit!
     When we get back on the move again, we hope to get to Daytona and park the boat again while we visit with more friends - Al and Martha of "Journey". We are going to hook up and sail with them later this summer up farther north. The way MJ writes makes this blog seem boring. Oh well, it's our story!
     We are having shifter "issues" so this seems like a great place to stop and see about it. We were passing under a draw bridge on Wed. morning and the boat didn't want to go into forward gear. Made our hearts skip a beat or two to be under an open bridge, current pushing you backwards, wind trying to push you sideways and the *%#> boat wouldn't go into gear!!!  Darrell had to go below and manually put the transmission lever in gear. Whew a close call!!!
     Stay tuned for more .........
