Follow Our Track

We are doing our shoreside things this morning, laundry, grocery shopping, and of course catching up on the website. We are on a mooring, meaning we are in a marina, but not tied up to the pier instead on a mooring ball. Sort of like anchoring but safer, plus you have all the amenities of restaurants, showers (endless hot water), shopping and your body finally realizes you are not rocking in the waves. But to get to shore we use our dinghy and tie up with many other dinghys (see in photo).The marina is at the foot of the bridge going into Stuart, Florida called Sunset Bay Marina.

We won’t have a long day today so we got lazy and got a later start. I should have checked my emails before leaving; an old Navy buddy, Benny (now JJ), that lives 10 miles away left a message to get together before we left! Also we got a message from Virginia’s friend Cindy and Dan to sail close by so they could get a picture, woops we missed that also. We need to do better monitoring Facebook, emails, ant text messages.
Once we got settled down on our mooring, we meet a high school friend, Vernon, who was waiting at the dock for us. We had a great time catching up and hoisting a few to celebrate our arrival to Stuart.
