Not a lot of news. We headed south from “Velcro Beach” on Sunday the 6th bound for Stuart, FL. It was a beautiful morning that became rainy and windy and rather unpleasant. Topping off the day, there was a red mark missing at our turn from the ICW into the St. Lucie River and we managed to find the bottom again. We backed off easily and found the channel, much closer to the temporary green marks than expected.
We’re now in the anchorage across from the Southpoint mooring field in Stuart, once again waiting for some parcels – hopefully the last batch before we head to the Bahamas. We have some friends here from back in our “Raven” days (our previous sailboat). We hadn’t seen them for several years so we’ve been having fun getting re-acquainted and seeing the town.
The City of Stuart has revitalized the old downtown area, with lots of restaurants and shops in interesting old buildings. A wonderful park and boardwalk meanders from the dinghy landing all the way around to downtown, about a 15 minute walk. Since we arrived the weather has been great and we are making more new friends. Can’t ask for more than that!!
