Ft Pierce to West Palm 12/8/2017

This day we just forgot about this bridge and couldn’t pick up enough speed to make the 4 o’clock opening. Hence, we arrived at the anchorage in the dark. Cocoa Village bay front got destroyed in this last hurricane, taking out the dock and also the dinghy dock and closing the park. We snuck in with the dinghy and tied up to a concrete all to get Beamer to shore and when we got to the end of the park it was all gated with a small walkthrough out. Out to the beautiful community park and shopping area we went, walked around a bit to let Bea
