5/8/10 – Vero Beach, Florida

"Reflection" at The Moorings Yacht Club

Linda, Nancy, and Gus.

Bo and Cyndi helped us cast off our lines from their dock at 7 a.m. with promises to visit us at our home this summer. We had a lovely ride north on this lovely, sunny day and arrived at The Moorings Yacht Club around 1 p.m. We were the only boat there at the dock which was located right next to the pool and club area. Again, this was a stunning location and the dock boys who took our lines even brought us ice water and lemons on a tray after we were tied up!

We rested in the afternoon and then got ready to host our friends, Gus and Linda Barberi, and Nancy Husbands who all live at The Moorings complex in the winter months for cocktails aboard the boat. We were all members and officers of the Bristol Sailing Club at one time and have known each other for many years. In fact, Nancy still owns her Bristol sailboat which she returns to every summer in New Jersey. Despite breaking her pelvis in a car accident in March, Nancy is getting around really well, and she and both the Barberis look terrific.

After a tour of “Reflection” and “Happy Hour “aboard, we were hosted for dinner at the Yacht Club, followed by a ride around Vero Beach which appears to be a lovely community in which to live. We were happy to spend some time here with our friends, and they look like living in Florida for the winter months really agrees with them!
