Wednesday, December 20 shortly after we left Vero Beach Municipal Marina we saw a manatee rocking back and forth just outside the ICW channel; it was the first one we spotted since entering Florida with all the signs stating "slow speed, manatee zone"! By mid afternoon we were tied up at Soverel Harbor Marina in Palm Beach Gardens. We were drawn to Carmine's Market for dinner, the first of many. I arranged for a rental car so it would be easy to visit with my sister and parents who flew down from the cold weather in St. Louis. Enterprise informed me that the only car available was a pickup truck -- a brand new Dodge Ram 4-door truck. I found out quickly that cars move out of the way of a big truck!! We had a lovely Christmas at Jane's with too much food, drink, and sweets.
