Ready to move south

Our stay at Harbortown Marina in Fort Pierce has been a welcome break from our journey south. The marina is very nice with lots of luxuries. There is a restaurant at the top of our dock (we didn’t eat there this time but have and it’s good), a pool and the nicest individual toilet/shower rooms I’ve ever seen ( they have granite counters and ceramic tiles everywhere!). The docks are well kept and our neighbours are very friendly.

We now have 2 new batteries (adding to the one good one) and are ready to continue our path to Fort Lauderdale. We’re leaving here in the morning and going on the outside to Lake Worth. The weather looks good for us to sail along the coast to Lake Worth. It will be great to get the sails out!

Most likely this will be the last post until we reach the Bahamas. We’re still planning to get to Fort Lauderdale on Sunday and then sail to Grand Bahamas as soon as weather permits. Unfortunately we will not have wifi again until we reach the Bahamas (unless we go into a marina in Fort Lauderdale).

Here are a few photos from Stuart, Florida and a repair of our wind meter (this repair deserves its own blog – maybe later!)

These ibises are resting under a palm tree in Stuart, Florida.

We saw this little guy in Stuart- he was very shy.

Look closely at the needle! Does that look like a cocktail pick?
