It was a nice three weeks in Ft Pierce. We stayed at the city marina which is within walking distance to most everything you need including a wonderful farmer’s market every Saturday morning. We met some fun, interesting people that we hope to meet up with again along the way, found some outstanding restaurants and even managed to play a couple rounds of golf.
The manatees and dolphins spend quite a bit of time inside the marina and we were treated to shows of dolphins and pelicans arguing over feeding territory. Manatees don’t argue, they just hang around looking like floating rocks. Seriously. Floating rocks. Really big floating rocks
.
The first morning in Ft Pierce we looked out the window and thought we saw Isabella sitting on the dock surveying her territory. Since she never leaves the boat we were a little concerned until we realized she was sitting in the salon. Her doppelgänger was checking out the dock around his boat.
We left Sunday and arrived in Ft Lauderdale yesterday. Final repairs are almost completed and we hope to leave here Thursday morning for the Bahamas at long last. A month later than anticipated but that’s boating. On the bright side we’ve used the time to do a lot of cosmetic repairs to the boat. It’s looking really good and hopefully we can keep it that way.
