Happy Halloween! This
is the last day of this stage of our journey.
We thought that it was only a 30 mile run today so left a little later
but did not realize that you had to go 5 miles beyond the marina to get to the
St. Lucie river entrance and then another 5 miles back to the marina.
There was more traffic today, including a beautiful Sea Ray
65 that may have been on the way to the Ft. Lauderdale boat show taking place this
weekend. Most of the boaters were very
polite and asked permission to give you a slow pass. Then there were a few others that did not
give a damn. Funny how most of those are
Sports Fisherman models!

One Grand Banks trawler sat behind us for a while then
passed us. He only had about ¼ knot more
speed but everyone has their favourite speed.
I am glad we were polite to him as he ended up at the same marina and we
saw him checking in.
We have arrived at Sunset Bay Marina in downtown Stuart,
Fl.
The great news is that although we
only had a reservation for 2 weeks, in spite of numerous attempts to extend it,
we are now booked in for one month as we had hoped. Love it when a plan comes together!

This now marks the end of this blog for a while. We will keep you up-to-date when we move the
boat to Sarasota in December.
Until then, thank you for all your comments (yes, even MFP
& Carter) and words of encouragement.
While it was sometimes a pain in the a** to write it some days when we
were tired, it will form a great memory of this trip.
I can’t believe that I did this instead of spending the
winter in Rigaud and days at the Curling Club!
Dreams do come true and man needs to have a dream. If not, what does he look forward to? Dream on Captain. You are going to love the Bahamas in March 2017!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are going to have a great month! Have lots of fun & can't wait to start reading the blog again in December!

We stopped in last night to make sure Bill, Sandy and crew were maintaining Seas the Day to Mr. MFPs exacting standards. We are pleased to report that all is good and a very enjoyable evening and breakfast was had. Seems like a very nice marina and the crew is all happy. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteI am bored. When is the next blog? We all want to know how the repairs are going and what is happening on your shore leave. Is the crew slacking off? Cut the rum rations.
