    Last night we stayed at the Vero Beach City Marina. It's tucked away from the ICW with very little tidal movement. The laundry, showers, restrooms, fuel and pump-out services are conveniently located. We especially appreciated the FREE bus loop that travels through several business and shopping areas - hourly. We used it for a grocery trip. This location is super peaceful with "quiet hours" from 7PM to 9AM (including generators.

    We arrived for a night, to prepare for crossing Lake Okeechobee. The dock-master was extremely helpful, cheerful and informative. The access is super easy from the river and the amenities are very nice. There are several other little stores within walking distance. The transient slips are convenient with easy access to water, power and facilities. It's definitely a nice place to stop and rest.

    We arrived expecting to spend a night or two as we rested for the passage through more locks and Lake Okeechobee. As we settled in for dinner our generator died. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in directing us to the local conveniences. This is a remote location so don't expect to walk to a store. There are no marine supply or repair services in the area, so you must travel by car to get anything (i.e. groceried, hardware, etc. The marina has fuel, pump out and laundry facilities. it's more like a campground than a resort. There is a nice hotel within walking distance. The local taxi will take you to Winn Dixie or Walmart for other necessities. We finally had to buy a portable generator (from Tractor Supply) in order to continue on our journey. Special thanks to Shauna and Kailey for their help and pleasant demeanor. I did enjoy my (5 night) stay in this quiet, sweet little cul-de-sac off the Okeechobee Waterway.

    We had the area to ourselves most of the night. The views were lovely and the water was calm. Some traffic sounds from the nearby bridge. Muddy river bottom held the anchor well. No evidence of nearby conveniences but the bridge is beautiful at night.

    We arrived late Wednesday afternoon, weary and hungry. The dockmaster and his helper were welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely spot on the sea-sall with a beautiful view.We spent one night. The exit was as easy as the entrance. Lovely experience.
