There was some significant rain coming in on Sunday. If we left on Friday as scheduled that put us on the anchor in Cocoa Beach for gusts to 25mph, which didn't sound fun. Whereas StA definitely was fun, and cheap. Since there appeared to be little behind this storm for the southeast, we decided to stay in StA until that blew through, ideally departing Monday. We are chewing up days, but we're working on things we had scheduled for farther south. With this new plan, instead of staging in Vero, we would head directly for Ft. Lauderdale, five or six travel days on the boat away. Right now we have little we urgently need in FtL, so we would immediately be looking for a weather window. Friday night we went to "A Wrinkle in Time". It was very pretty, but I must have been too old (or sober) for the intended effect. In its defense, a tough book to adapt.
On Saturday they had the (nations first in 1600?) St. Patricks Day parade and a Celtic music and games festival. They had the usual fair fare, plus more unusual things like scotch eggs, and haggis & chips. Pass. Heather bought a red, leather purse/backpack thing to replace her current one with failing zippers.
