Today was a beautiful ICW day from Mosquito Lagoon to Vero City Marina...89 miles and 11 1/2 hours. Yes, we came into the marina after dark at 6:30 with our spotlight out. We are on mooring ball 41 and we were surprised to see so many boats here in January. The ICW was very wide but very shallow, especially around Haulover Cut, Titusville, Cocoa Beach, and Melbourne. We did see a collection of pink roseate spoonbills...their wings are pink and they have white heads. There are only 450 know nesting spoonbills in all of Florida and many are located near Haulover Cut. I also saw some huge black vultures....yuck. I took the photo of the sunrise at Mosquito Lagoon and the egret was perched next to our boat here in Vero.
