Jascat's home for the near future

Our checkout of the marinas in Manatee Pocket didn't go so well. The two prime candidates didn't have any slips left that were wide enough for Jascat. And our Sunday dinghy tour indicated that the other marinas were not as inviting as we had hoped. So we decided to revert back to Plan B which was to consider marinas in the Stuart area outside the Pocket. That led us back to a suggestion by our boat broker that we check out what he called the docks "between the bridges". He gave us a phone number to call Jeff the dock master but no description of the docks or even which bridges he was talking about.

Sure enough, a call to Jeff produced a "sure, we have slips - come on down". Ironically, the dock location he related to us was the first set of docks we saw as we came in to Stuart via the St Lucie Canal. We noted at the time that those docks would be a pretty place to keep Jascat.

That series of events has resulted in us finding a beautiful docking spot for Jascat. It really isn't a marina. It's just a set of docks interspersed in housing along the river. But it makes a really nice setting for selling Jascat.
