26 January - Day #54. Ron Knaggs, N1GYX, is a twice former Commodore of the Waterway Radio and Cruising Club and has spent many hours facilitating ham radio nets--a job akin to aircraft controller. Done well it's like a ballet. I watched him simultaneously and seamlessly work the broadcast portion, an internet messaging program, which handles behind the scenes communications, and CQ100 which is an internet based HF radio. Saying good bye to Ron and Shelley we headed north to Vero Beach. Vero is known as Velcro Beach to cruisers and we wanted to find out why. On mooring ball #15 in the Vero Beach Municipal Marina. 10nm today 1319nm total.
