We were up early and Annette fixed us delicious French toast and sausage. Left at 7:30 for Stuart and watched as Catrina was launched with fresh bottom paint! It was sunny and so pretty when we left Lake Worth, but cool and very cloudy in Stuart and then it started to rain!!!!! We left for an anchorage and exercised and then got settled at Sunset Bay Marina . We love this place and the restaurant (Sailor's Return). Last time we were here was March 10, 2012 with Ryan, Philip and Annette.
Mark rode his bike back to the Stuart Yacht Yard to get truck and return here to Sunset Bay. I walked downtown - about 1/2 mile. This is a great town.......marina was finished in 2009 and then a great boardwalk from marina to downtown along the St. Lucie River makes for a nice walking/biking path. Just a few years ago, there were many abandoned stores, but since we've been coming here (3 years), it has become one of our favorite places to boat, shop, eat, etc. The downtown area is full of wonderful shops, coffee cafe, ice cream, and many restaurants. The sun came out and it was a gorgeous day for strolling around. Back to Catrina and so nice to have all the windows open and fresh breeze blowing thru.
Had dinner at Sailor's Return - another favorite!!!! Seafood chowder, beet salad, sea bass........
all wonderful!!!!!
all wonderful!!!!!
The plan had been to leave Stuart today and head on up the east coast. But we need to have our port engine checked. At certain speeds, it is spurting anti-freeze; this is slowing us down and so, while here, we are having a mechanic check it out. Unfortunately, they can't get to it till Monday. Not a bad place to be "stuck".......we are just 45 minutes from Philip and Annette, we have the truck, etc., so will scope out the area and on Monday, planning to drive back to Lake Worth and spend a few more days with P and A.
