Day 20 Jan 6, 2017 Friday

ICW heading South     mm992  

We left Vero Beach Muni Marina at 8.  It was a beautiful warm sunny morning with water as smooth as glass.  We had an uneventful day except for a very loud screeching sound around noon.  It sounded like it was coming from the motor.  Maybe a belt slipping.  When Lee slowed down it quit but when he tried to speed up it started again.  He went slower for a while then sped up gradually and it did not start making sounds again.  He checked out the motor when we anchored for the evening and all looked OK. We don't know what happened but hope it will not happen again.  This is a popular anchorage, Peck Lake, and we are sharing it with several other boats. We saw a lot of dolphin today.
 We have many bridges to engage tomorrow before reaching West Palm Beach.  We may be there several days but it too is popular and it can get impossibly crowded there.  Guess we will see when we get there.
